Physicians write orders all day.
This is what we write for them.

Medicine has journals for evidence and trade outlets for headlines. What it has lacked is a publication with the editorial ambition of the great business magazines, written for the people who actually practice. The Script Pad exists to fill that gap.

We cover the full working life of a physician. The clinical judgment calls. The business decisions that keep a practice alive. The leadership challenges of running teams of experts. The policy being written about our work. And the human cost of doing it all.

Editorial Standards

Clinical stories are checked against the published studies, guidelines and agency documents they cite. Sponsored content is always labeled and never written by our editorial staff. Contributors disclose relevant financial relationships at the end of their articles.

How we use AI

The Script Pad uses AI tools to help research, draft and edit stories. Every story is checked against the sources listed with it before publication, and quotes are published only when we can match them to a source or the person approved them. An editor approves each story before it goes live. Bylines name the desk or house byline responsible for a story; they are not always individual reporters. Corrections: use the contact form and choose the Correction topic.
