HomeACP Journal Club: Navigating the Maze
What is the ACP Journal Club?
The ACP Journal Club database contains full-text evidence-based article reviews from two journals: ACP Journal Club, a publication of the American College of Physicians - American Society of Internal Medicine, and Evidence-Based Medicine, a joint publication with the British Medical Journal Group. It offers enhanced abstracts and expert commentaries to both methodologically sound and clinically relevant articles from top journals in internal medicine, family practice, pediatrics, psychiatry, surgery and obstetrics/gynecology.
The cumulative (1991 to present) electronic contents of the ACP Journal Club's bimonthly print edition is currently available by paid subscription from the American College of Physicians - American Society of Internal Medicine's Web site. Articles that are out-of-date are weeded from this online list. Online access to the ACP Journal Club is also available from Ovid Technologies as part of their Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews (EBMR) product.
