Beschreibung
This book teaches what clinicians need to know about medical writing and publishing. It is for the physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who sees patients and also wants to contribute to the medical literature, as well as for the assistant professor aspiring to promotion. It is written from the viewpoint of the clinician seeking the personal enrichment that writing can bring. Readers learn how to translate observations and ideas from practice into written form and eventually into print. The guide for this journey is Dr. Robert B. Taylor, a distinguished leader in academic family medicine. With a clear, conversational writing style, Dr. Taylor shares what he has learned—what works and what doesn’t—through the course of publishing 22 medical books and several hundred papers. He draws from his successes (and some failures) as he tells helpful ways to write review articles, case reports, editorials, letters to the editor, book reviews, book chapters, reference books, and research reports. Loaded with practical advice and real-world examples, this text benefits readers who are new to medical writing and those who have authored a few articles or chapters and want to improve their skills.
This book is for the clinician who wants to write. It is for the physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who sees patients and who wants to contribute to the medical l- erature. You may be an assistant professor aspiring to p- motion or a clinician in private practice who seeks the personal enrichment that writing can bring. If you are new to medical writing or even if you have been the author of some articles or book chapters and seek to improve your abilities, this book can help you. Who am I that I can make this assertion and write this book, both fairly presumptuous? Here’s my reasoning. As a practicing physician, writing has been my avocation; unlike the authors of many other writing books, I am not a journal editor. Over 14 years in private practice and 26 years in a- demic medicine, I have written all the major models described in this book: review articles, case reports, edito- als, letters to the editor, book reviews, book chapters, edited books, authored books, and reports of clinical research st- ies. Most have been published. Not all. Perhaps my most signi?cant quali?cation is not that I have managed to p- duce a lengthy curriculum vitae. In my opinion, what is more important for you, the reader, is that I have made all the errors. That’s right, the mistakes.
Readers relate to this book because it is written by someone who has been in their shoes. Dr. Robert B. Taylor is a leader in the field of family medicine. Unlike the authors of many other writing books who have little experience outside of academia or publishing, writing is his avocation instead of his career focus. He wrote this book to share what he has learned - what works and what doesn't in medical writing Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:
"A book for clinicians who want to start writing. … Every type of article that could fall within the scope … is covered. ... The book is easy and entertaining to read. … He has brightened what could otherwise be a dry subject … . If you need that extra push to start to write reading Taylor’s book is a good place to begin. … This guide covers wider aspects of medical writing and gives practical tips missing from other medical writing guides … ." (Elise Langdon-Neuner, The Journal of Men’s Health, Vol. 2(2), June, 2005)
"Might be described as a little gem, sparkling with advice, hints, and help, pushing and prodding the prospective but fearful (or lazy) writer to produce work that reveals some genius, knowledge, or talent. ... discusses all aspects of medical writing … . a road map to writing success. … a jewel, deserving consideration by every medical practitioner, both the academic, who must publish, and the nonacademic, who might discover the fun of writing and the pride of seeing his or her work published." (Alexander W. Gotta, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 293(9), March, 2005)
