I find LER to be invaluable to my current practice and future growth within the field. The articles help strengthen my credibility with my patients and with others in the medical community. It is vital for clinicians like me to stay current in practice so we can ensure treatment provided is appropriate, and outcomes effective, for the patients we serve. Thank you again for LER, and keep up the good work.
