Core Product Features
- Create a separate product from Stern's MGH Comprehensive Clinical Psychiatry which is currently in production with an April 2015 pub date
- Focus on current treatment and psychotropics
- Dr Stern has identified 21 chapters that cover this type of content
- May need to amend the titles of the chapters to ensure they all make immediate sense in the context
- Publish alongside the main text
- The main text is mainly being revised for Clinical Key as it is our only comprehensive psychiatric reference text, which has generated over $800 on MD Consult. As we are expecting limited print sales of the Comprehensive Stern due to the strong competition from LWW in the form of Kaplan and Sadock, we will not really be risking massively undercutting sales of main edition of Stern, but rather look to maximize sales of content we are already developing
We could consider doing a small print run
