Practice Pearls are 2-to-4 page summaries of practical clinical applications based on original research or a review article that clearly demonstrates the proven advantage a given technique or therapy has in the advancement of patient care. Practice Pearls are intended to share the knowledge derived from research with peers. The information must be applicable to solving everyday clinical problems and situations that are pertinent to treating physicians. The information featured in the Practice Pearls section is reviewed by Postgraduate Medicine's Editor-in-Chief and a peer review panel to ensure accuracy and clinical relevance. Practice Pearls can be related to patient management and helpful diagnostic techniques, and each should be based upon a recent clinical study that demonstrates clear advancement of medicine all in the name of patient care. We strongly encourage the inclusion of safety protocols whenever possible to support the learning experience among your peers. Practice Pearls should be no more than 1100 words in length and adapt to the template format for submission.
