The Board of Editors in the Life Sciences (BELS) was founded in 1991 to evaluate the proficiency of manuscript editors in the life sciences and to award credentials similar to those obtainable in other professions.
I have written and edited abstracts and manuscripts for journal publication in a variety of medical specialties, as well as books, book chapters, NDAs, INDs, and final reports of clinical trials. I have been the Editor of two hospital magazines (for Mount Carmel Health System and The Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio).
