Mission

To help physicians and allied heath professionals save time and stay informed by providing brief, clearly written, clinically focused perspectives on the medical developments that affect practice.

Medicine that matters in 12 primary and specialty care areas

Journal Watch Physician Editorial Boards survey the medical literature, select the most important research and guidelines, distill them into focused summaries, and frame them in a clinical context. In addition, they cover the most important medical news, drug information, and public health alerts.

And the most important medical news every weekday morning

Physicians First Watch is your FREE daily dose of the handful of medical news stories and announcements you need to know about — delivered to your inbox each weekday morning.

Organized to help you find what you want — fast

Dig into one of our 12 Primary and Specialty Care areas to find the information you need. See what our physician-editors have to say and let them point you to other relevant content if you want to dig deeper. Or if you prefer, browse one of our 20 Watch Topics where information on a condition — diabetes, for example — from across our 12 specialty areas is easily available in one place.

With the tools that make it easy to stay informed

Journal Watch offers Physicians First Watch — our daily news service — delivered to your inbox each weekday morning. Plus over 30 daily, weekly and monthly free e-mail alerts to help you stay on top of the news and to alert you when new content is published in the areas that matter to you most.
