Game-Changing Textbook Publishing Model; Not Just Up to Date, but Up to the
Minute, 24/7
LITTLE FALLS, N.J., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Breaking new ground and abandoning
the dated textbook model, Projects In Knowledge (www.projectsinknowledge.com)
is the first to market the Living Medical Textbook -- shaking up the old and
making it obsolete.
The Living Medical Textbook, utilizing a proprietary electronic platform, is
an interactive educational textbook now available in three editions: Women's
Cancers (www.livingmedicaltextbook.org/womenscancers), Tumor Immunology and
Immunotherapy: Metastatic Melanoma
(www.livingmedicaltextbook.org/tumorimmunology), and Osteoporosis
(www.livingmedicaltextbook.org/osteoporosis). Each textbook provides a
progressive series of web-based modules, organized into chapters that enable
easy navigation and reference. Supportive multimedia hyperlinks within each
chapter page provide access to illustrations, videos, journal articles,
podcasts, glossary terms, online textbooks, and other resources to enhance
understanding of relevant issues, adding clarity and depth of expertise that a
printed textbook could never afford. Updated as new data emerge and with the
scientific rigor of peer review, the Living Medical Textbook provides timely
accuracy unsurpassed by traditional textbooks.
What sets the Living Medical Textbook apart from printed medical books, which
become outdated as soon as they come off the press, is its unique ability to
be current at a moment's notice, according to Patty Peterson, CCMEP, Senior
Vice President at Projects In Knowledge. "When new information and data are
reported from medical conferences, scientific journals, or media outlets, the
content of any Living Medical Textbook can be revised instantly to reflect the
new developments," said Ms. Peterson. "We can add, remove, or replace the
hyperlinks as needed, and update any of the content, to deliver the most
current material to the learner. Because of this unique capability, the Living
Medical Textbook becomes a truly living interactive educational tool, assuring
clinicians that they are reading the latest information in their specialty and
keeping up to date with the state of the science."
All content is created by a team of medical writers, editors, researchers, and
thought leaders in their respective fields, and undergoes a rigorous
third-party peer review process to ensure scientific accuracy and integrity.
Soon to move into the iPhone platform, and as a supplement to electronic
medical records hardware, the Living Medical Textbook becomes a daily tool and
resource in the clinician's workflow, accessible from the office, hospital, or
home. A special institutional and individual subscriber model will be
available that will incorporate Q&A access to the thought leader editors,
original journal article access, and a suite of workflow-compatible tools.
Living Medical Textbook editions in Multiple Sclerosis and Lymphoma/Leukemia
are now in development, joining the currently available Oncology and
Osteoporosis editions. Over the coming year, Living Medical Textbooks will be
launched in the areas of New Solid Tumors, Virology, and Infectious Diseases.
All editions offer free CME/CE/CPE credit.
