well read when it comes to medical matters
This describes a person who has either studied medicine or has done extensive reading on medical or medically related matters.
Medically well read or medically erudite also possible but because of the reference to medical magazines I would simply say "well read when it comes to medical matters."

: Or medically literate. And in fact they've already said "Medizinzeitschriften", so to avoid repetition you could say
"in this subject".

: To me, this suggests a person meets minimum standards, as in 'we want all Americans to become literate in science". But 'belesen' sets a higher bar, in my opinion.

Literate doesn’t mean minimally literate.

Lirka
: Yes, but I prefer medically literate or, as I suggested in my answer, health literate.

Björn Vrooman
: Agree you shouldn't take belesen too literally, so this is a good compromise. E.g., Sr. Medical Editor C. Dill, NY, "is extremely detail-oriented, medically knowledgeable, and timely in her work." https://www.linkedin.com/in/catharine-dill-2052b3112

medically astute
Given the clarification since added, it's clear that an 'editor of a medical publication' will be somewhat more than just 'well read' or 'well versed'....

In other words, the term 'belesen' is used here in the form of understatement....
