She collaborates closely with physician-authors, editors, and designers to ensure each cover concept is anatomically and scientifically accurate, easy to interpret, and eye-catching.Most importantly, the illustration must accurately convey the content of the article.This quality control process, combined with the peer-review process for written content, is the foundation for our delivery of evidence-based information to busy ob/gyns.
