Letters to the Editor

 

Submit a Letter to the Editor


Complete Instructions for Authors

Has your thinking about a practice or paradigm been influenced by something you read in the journal? Here is the place to share your opinion.

Guidelines

Letters to the Editor can be responses to articles in the journal, replies to other letters, or about issues of importance in academic medicine. They must not duplicate other material that has been published or submitted for publication.

Letters will be published at the discretion of the editor and are subject to abridgement and editing for style and content.

Letters should be tightly focused and are no longer than 400 words (including references). They have no tables or figures and no more than three authors. Submissions do not require an abstract.

The cover letter that accompanies submissions must include the full citation of the article or letter being commented upon. Authors whose published articles are the subject of a Letter to the Editor will have the opportunity to respond to that letter, in the same issue in which the letter is printed.
