Summary: Primarily, our mission is to listen to educators and students, analyze the competition, and then publish the texts, references and electronic resources that the health sciences market demands. Our goal is to assert leadership in this market, filling the need for the most up-to-date, accurate and informative resources from which students in nursing, health professions and medicine will learn their course work. We are committed to both educators and clinicians by offering the most effective tools to teach students and providing the means to keep abreast of the latest research and trends.
Essentially the F.A. Davis mission is to listen carefully to health
science educators and their students, analyze the prevailing
competition, identify capable authorship, and then publish the finest
texts, references, and resources in a wide variety of formats. Our goal
is to assert leadership in this market, satisfying the timely need for
the most up-to-date, accurate, and informative resources from which
students can master their coursework. Our commitment to student needs,
in turn serves the role of the educator and the practice of the
clinician as one facilitates the preparation of the other.
In a world marred by an excess of mergers and acquisitions, F.A.
Davis Company remains as it started over 130 years ago...a
family-managed, independent publisher in touch with the grass roots
synergy of its customers. The underlying thrust of our mission is to
keep it that way.
