Speaking of Medicine is the PLOS medical journals’ blog. We hope to provide an informal venue for readers, authors, editors and friends of the PLOS medical journals to discuss global health topics and issues that are important to the community.

We are interested in submissions on topics that are relevant to the field of medicine worldwide, as well as issues that are controversial or provocative. We encourage researchers and health policy experts to share their experiences from the field, views on critical health issues, hopes for the future of medicine, opinions on the medical education system, as well as any other thoughts about topics relevant to global health issues.

If you would like to submit a post for consideration, please email speakingofmedicine@plos.org and read through our author guidelines.
