Principal Content Management Consultant - UpToDate, Physician Editor; Obstetrics and Gynecology

LOCATION: U.S. locations – remote/hybrid. Candidates within commuting distance of a Wolters Kluwer office will be considered for hybrid employment. Candidates not within commuting distances will be considered for remote employment.

You will be trained remotely and can work from anywhere in the United States. However, work hours should significantly overlap with standard work hours in the Eastern time zone to allow for regular interaction with other Physician Editors. Candidates with strong academic backgrounds are of particular interest. Editing requires 80 to 90% FTE. In the remaining 10 to 20% time, most Physician Editors remain involved in patient care activities, using their clinical experience to help ensure the content of the program is maximally useful at the point of care.

Thus, the position provides the opportunity to remain clinically active, while spending the majority of your time crafting clear content, reviewing the literature, and discussing the impact of new research on clinical practice with our expert contributors.

Our physician editors review and edit the new contributions from our external expert authors to make sure they address the questions that a practicing clinician might have. Topics must contain specific and actionable recommendations and describe the supporting evidence. Updating is an equally important component of the work and is usually initiated by the Physician Editor, who is responsible for monitoring the literature for new developments and identifying topics that need updating.

Physician Editors also systematically review existing topics for clarity, completeness, and clinical relevance. This work is not done in isolation. Up To Date  editors work closely with outside authors, section editors, editors-in-chief, and peer reviewers to ensure the material is accurate and free of bias. In addition, in-house editorial and graphics assistants work with the Physician Editors to produce and maintain each topic.
