Carlat Publishing is seeking experienced clinicians, residents, and researchers to contribute to our highly-regarded newsletters. We offer opportunities to write both Research Updates and Clinical Updates across a range of specialties, including general psychiatry, child psychiatry, addiction treatment, hospital psychiatry, and geriatric psychiatry.

With our innovative AI-Assisted Writing Process, we’re making it easier for you to create high-quality articles. Using a custom AI tool developed specifically for Carlat Publishing, we provide AI-generated first drafts, so you can focus on refining and adding your clinical insights. If you have a passion for translating research findings into practical guidance for mental health professionals, we’d love to hear from you!

How It Works

We combine AI technology with expert clinical review to produce accurate, unbiased, and engaging content. Here’s how the process works for each type of article:

Research Updates (RUs)

Research Updates are brief, approximately 350-word articles that analyze recent clinical studies. Using our custom AI tool, we provide you with a draft that synthesizes key findings and insights from the research. You’ll refine and enhance this draft, adding your own expertise to ensure it’s clear, accurate, and clinically relevant.

This AI-assisted approach allows you to focus on adding your expert perspective while saving time on initial drafting. Our editorial team is here to support you and provide detailed guidelines to ensure a smooth process.

Example Topics:

• Does Haloperidol Improve Hospitalization or Mortality in Delirium? (General Psychiatry)
• Ziprasidone for Mania in Bipolar I Disorder in Children and Teens (Child Psychiatry)

Requirements:

• Ability to interpret and analyze clinical research studies
• Strong writing skills with attention to clarity and brevity

Clinical Updates (CUs)

Clinical Updates are more in-depth, approximately 1,000-word articles that focus on a specific clinical topic. Our AI tool generates an outline and a rough draft based on your assigned topic and key references. You’ll work from this draft to produce a polished, well-rounded article, adding depth and clinical nuance where it’s needed.

This streamlined process allows clinicians to focus on what matters most—providing actionable insights for their peers. Our editorial team offers guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring your final article meets our high standards.

Example Topics:

• A Personalized Approach to Antidepressant Augmentation (General Psychiatry)
• Fentanyl Testing: An Emerging Harm Reduction Strategy (Addiction Treatment)

Requirements:

• In-depth knowledge of a specific topic area
• Ability to write comprehensive, well-organized content

What We Offer

• Honorarium: We offer a competitive honorarium for each Research Update or Clinical Update that we publish.
• CME Subscription: Writers receive a free CME subscription to the Carlat Report newsletter(s) of their choice, keeping you updated on the latest in psychiatry.
• AI-Assisted Drafts: Our custom AI tool provides an initial draft for each assignment, allowing you to focus on refining and enhancing the content with your clinical insights.

Conflict of Interest Policy

To maintain our commitment to unbiased content, we cannot accept contributions from individuals with financial relationships with pharmaceutical or medical device companies within the past 24 months. All contributors will be asked to disclose any potential conflicts of interest before assignments are made.
