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.

UpToDate 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. **QUALIFICATIONS** **Required Education:** + Medical Degree + Board Certification/Eligibility in Adult Endocrinology **Preferred Experience, Knowledge, and Abilities:** + Clinical experience in an academic setting after residency + A valid medical license in at least on U.S. state + Impeccable communication skills: verbal, writing, and listening + Ability to work collaboratively with colleagues at different skill levels + Self-motivated, with excellent organizational and time management skills + Ability to give and receive feedback effectively + Interest in critical analysis of the medical literature (skills can be learned on the job) + Ability to spend 80 to 90% of the work week on editorial work + Interest in and ability to maintain clinical work (10 to 20%) **TRAVEL:** Minimal - less than 5% **UpToDate (******************* is an electronic clinical decision support resource for physicians and patients that provides current medical information in a format accessible via computer, smartphone, or tablet. **UpToDate is part of Wolters Kluwer Health** , an international corporation that provides tools to assist professionals in health care, finance, and accounting.
