The American Journal of Managed Care®
About the Editors
We continue to add individuals to our editorial board, going to great lengths to reach out beyond the ivory towers of academia to the health care management sector, to research groups within managed care plans, and to the health policy community. We have structured the board to include clinicians, health services researchers, and decision makers, and it is our expectation that with their dedication and hard work our aims will be achieved. In addition to their oversight, we have charged our editorial board members identifying potential authors and assisting us in the peer-review process.
