EDITORIAL Letter from the Editors of Reviews in Urology T he success of Reviews in Urology depends on our editorial board members, corporate sponsors, and the MedReviews team. All of these individuals serve very important roles in bringing the urologic community a scholarly and informative medical publication. Our distinguished editorial board members are responsible for the majority of the content in the journals; the corporate sponsors provide the financial support that allows us to send the publication to all practicing urologists at no cost; and the MedReviews team produces the journal in an attractive and easy-to-read format. MedReviews hosted its annual Editorial Board/Sponsor Retreat in Park City, Utah February 8 to 10, 2001. Attended by the majority of our editorial board members and corporate sponsors, the goal of the retreat was to brainstorm how we can further improve our publication’s value to the urologic community. Based on discussions at the retreat, two new categories will be added to the journal: a “Point/Counterpoint" section, featuring two experts debating controversial issues in REVIEWS IN UROLOGY SPRING 2001 urology; and a “Case Scenario" section, with multiple management options. Readers will log on to www.medreviews.com to enter their selection regarding the case management. The distribution of responses will be summarized in the next issue of the journal along with an analysis of the responses by editorial board members. We are proud of Reviews in Urology and confident that we are producing an important journal for urologists. The new ideas that emanated from our Editorial Board/Sponsor Retreat will enhance the journal’s educational value to the readership. Michael K. Brawer, MD Herb Lepor, MD Medical Editors
