Blackwell Publishing And Le Jacq Strategic Partnership Alliance Strengthens Blackwell’s Medical Outreach Program

Blackwell Publishing and Le Jacq announced an exclusive long-term partnership.

Blackwell Publishing and Le Jacq announced an exclusive long-term partnership aimed at developing new medical educational products and enhancing the current Le Jacq list of peer-reviewed journals, clinical trial review books, continuing medical education projects and Web-based initiatives.

The Connecticut-based medical publishing house will become a significant component in Blackwell's independent medical educational portfolio, which includes Blackwell Futura Media Services, an ACCM-accredited conference organization and CME Project Company that Blackwell acquired in 2002.

“No medical publisher other than Blackwell Publishing could enhance our success and ability to develop innovative clinical outreach products and solutions for the medical community in conjunction with professional medical societies’ mission to educate the clinician,” stated T. Anthony Howell, president, Le Jacq. “We look forward to our long-term collaboration that will add value to both the Blackwell medical publishing portfolio and in our offerings to our collective clients, authors, physicians and patients alike.” Howell will continue to serve as president of Le Jacq.

Each year, Blackwell publishes over 100 books and 350 journals in medicine, biomedicine and allied health. Under the agreement, Blackwell will publish Le Jacq’s eight peer-reviewed clinical journals and its collection of medical books, including the successful Trial Review Book Series. Eugene Simonoff & Associates, Inc. acted as advisor to Blackwell in the negotiations with Le Jacq.

“The alliance with Le Jacq further enhances our ability to provide medical outreach products and services to Blackwell's society partners, as well as fulfill our own global educational mission in relation to cutting-edge medicine,” said Nigel Fletcher-Jones, Ph.D., executive vice president and publishing director, Blackwell Publishing.
