Web Site Project Leaders

All articles and presentations that are submitted for publication on the CMSC Web site are peer reviewed. This assures the merit and integrity of the materials that we provide for our members. The process involves a "blind review". Our Project Leaders have selected their colleagues as editorial peer reviewers for their expertise in the areas directly related to a specialty practice in MS.

Our Peer Reviewers not only review submitted materials, but also assist in the development of particular projects for the web site. They give voluntarily of their time and expertise. Their efforts on our behalf are truly appreciated.
