Principal Content Management Consultant - UpToDate, Physician Editor, Gastroente

Principal Content Management Consultant - UpToDate, Physician Editor, Gastroenterology at Wolters Kluwer in Boise, Idaho, United States Job Description LOCATION: Remote in the U.S. (home-based) OVERVIEW The Physician Editor (Gastroenterology) position requires an 80 to 90% FTE commitment, a broad understanding of clinical issues, and an interest in analyzing the literature. For the right person, this is a unique opportunity to impact the practice of medicine throughout the United States and around the world. Physician Editors ensure that topics address the important clinical questions that arise when diagnosing or managing a specific disorder, present information clearly and succinctly, and provide evidence-based and actionable recommendations for care. Extensive editorial training is provided to help the editor learn critical skills for evaluating the literature and creating content in the UpToDate style. Training is overseen by at least two senior Physician Editors. All new topics are read and reviewed by the training editors until the new Physician Editor achieves a satisfactory level of independence. 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. ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: 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.
