Why should practicing health care providers read PLoS Medicine?
PLoS Medicine emphasizes both original research and the application of that research to clinical practice. The Perspectives section will describe wider implications of an important research study, the Learning Forum sections uses specific clinical cases to educate health care providers about specific clinical issues. The journal publishes original research in all medical fields—including those most important to health care providers around the world—and also provides summaries for non experts written by the editorial staff.
