Academic Medicine is seeking articles for a special issue examining the implications of comparative effectiveness research (CER) for academic health centers (AHCs) and how the academic medicine community should be contributing to CER. Of interest are articles that (1) examine strategies for incorporating knowledge derived from CER into all levels of clinical practice and medical education in AHCs; (2) report key strategies to further develop the CER knowledge base to assist patients, providers and policymakers in making data-based decisions; and (3) analyze relevant policy issues that must be considered in developing and using the CER knowledge base and the implications of these issues for medical schools and teaching hospitals. Proposals (not to exceed 300 words) and complete contact information should be submitted by January 31, 2010 to guest editor Harold Alan Pincus, MD, here. Click here for more information.
