READERSHIP PUBLISHING EXCELLENCE High Readership The Clinical Advisor has consistently achieved outstanding readership scores from NPs and PAs. The most recent Kantar Media Professional Health surveys Table 101 and 201 rank The Clinical Advisor number 1 in readers and exposures among journals reaching the combined NP/PA audience.* With its low CPM based on number of high readers or exposures, The Clinical Advisor is an outstanding buy. Continuous Editorial Research The Clinical Advisor is marketing-research driven. Every month, a random sample of 500 NPs and PAs are sent a copy of the magazine along with a detailed questionnaire asking them to rate each feature and regular department on a scale of 1 to 6. Departments that score below 4 are revised or even dropped from the edito rial lineup. Scores for feature articles also guide decisions. If an article on lung cancer scores only 3, for example, the editors would consider dropping that topic from future coverage. In this way, the editors keep in touch with the needs of readers and are able to provide highly relevant material. *Source: Kantar Media, Physician Assistant/Nurse Practitioner 2013, Table 101 and 201 Active Editorial Board The Clinical Advisor maintains high editorial standards with its active board of contributing editors from across the nation. These distinquished clinicians are not just names on the masthead; they play an important role in ensuring a professional product by participating in the editorial process. A Critical Eye for Excellence The Clinical Advisor is designed to promote maximum readability. To ensure an appealing layout and high-quality articles, no editorial, graphic, or production detail is overlooked. The Clinical Advisor is also designed to showcase ads to their best advantage. Every page of every issue undergoes a thorough examination, including pre- and post publications review, by an experienced team of editorial, art, and production professionals. Use of color photography adds a quality dimension throughout the publication. Distinctive Quality The Clinical Advisor is published on superior paper stock and uses extensive four-color artwork throughout, resulting in a display environment of the highest caliber. These measures provide the finest reproductions to enchance even the most specific detail of every ad.

FACTS ON NPs AND PAs EDITORIAL MISSION Nurse Practitioners Nurse practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice registered nurses, licensed to provide health care in all 50 states and held to the same legal and ethical standards of care as physicians. Licensed as NPs and registered nurses, they follow the rules and regulations of the Nurse Practice Act of the state in which they work. NPs are dedicated to bridging the gaps in health care to meet the needs of patients. As licensed independent practitioners, NPs work autonomously and in collaboration with physicians. Nurse practitioners work in both rural and urban settings and provide health care to people of all ages in such diverse settings as private office practice, hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, state and local health departments, and managed-care facilities. Physician Assistants Physician assistants (PAs) are midlevel clinicians who, under the supervision of licensed physicians, conduct physical exams, assist in surgery, counsel on preventive health, diagnose and treat illnesses, and write prescriptions. PAs are found in all areas of medicine. More than 50% practice primary care that is, family and internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Two thirds of PAs practice in metropolitan areas, and one third practice in rural communities. The Clinical Advisor focuses on improving the skills of NPs and PAs by presenting case-based departments and review articles about conditions seen in primary care. Professional Interactivity Through an extensive interactive system utilizing letters, faxes, and e-mail, as well as reader response forms, NPs and PAs share clinical suggestions, ask questions, and maintain a dialogue with their colleagues in the Advisor Forum section. Other Editorial Features Clinical Challenge walks the practitioner through actual cases to help hone the skills needed for accurate diagnoses or successful treatments, Newsline reports on the latest clinical research presented at medical conferences and in the leading medical journals. In Dermatology Clinic, Dermatologic Look-Alikes, and Derm Dx, readers are quizzed on their ability to identify skin diseases. Stat Consult, an evidencebased medicine department, lets readers catch up with the most significant literature on a topic within a few minutes. The Legal Advisor offers practical tips on matters of law and presents malpractice cases that teach valuable lessons for avoiding or dealing with litigation. Alternative Meds Update, informs readers about the herbal medications that most of their patients either use or ask about. Each issue includes a free CME/CE component through which readers can earn up to 1.0 credits every month.
