For more than 20 years, physicians, researchers, and healthcare clients have depended on Tremaine Medical Communications for assistance in accomplishing their publishing goals. As a Certified Editor in the Life Sciences (ELS, as awarded by the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences) and a member of the American Medical Writers Association, I have edited and written hundreds of publications in many medical disciplines, most notably all disciplines of surgery and orthopaedics. Projects have included manuscripts published in a wide variety of medical journals; chapters for textbooks; technical manuals; abstracts for presentation; research proposals; protocols for Institutional Review Boards; and healthcare brochures.
