About Us: Why You Should Submit Your Next Manuscript to Consultant

At its core, Consultant is a home for practical, peer-reviewed clinical education across the full spectrum of patient care. Since 1961, Consultant has remained a leader in medical education and information for a clinical audience of more than 260,000 clinicians.

Our scope has evolved to meet the needs of modern, multidisciplinary clinical practice, and it is central to who we are. Consultant is not bound by one specialty, one disease state, or one content format. We publish practical, succinct, evidence-based content that reflects the realities of everyday clinical care, including original research, case reports, research reviews, clinical image quizzes, commentaries, and other educational pieces. Across formats, our goal is the same: to help clinicians translate clinical knowledge, evidence, and real-world experience into better patient care. We believe real-world experience is more valuable than ever, and we want to hear from you.

Our editorial team is currently seeking submissions from clinicians, researchers, educators, and other health care professionals who want to share clinical knowledge, diagnostic insights, patient care lessons, and evidence-based perspectives with practicing clinicians. We welcome content across disease states and clinical areas, particularly work that helps clinicians recognize important presentations, apply emerging evidence, manage common or complex conditions, and improve care at the point of practice.

As interest in contributing to Consultant continues to grow, we remain committed to a thoughtful and efficient editorial process for our authors and peer reviewers. In 2025, our turnaround time to the final decision was 68 days. As of June 2026, we have cut that number to 48 days, a 29% decrease. With a more efficient editorial process, authors can share timely clinical insights with practicing clinicians while helping peers apply evidence and experience in daily patient care.

Publishing with Consultant allows authors to reach a multidisciplinary clinician audience and contribute to practical medical education in a meaningful way. Whether you are sharing a complex case, summarizing emerging research, offering a clinical perspective, or highlighting lessons from practice, your submission can help bring practical knowledge into patient care across specialties.

Share your clinical experience with Consultant.
