چکیده

Readers with a critical eye for value will quickly discern that ACP Journal Club just got bigger and better. The usual 25 pages of abstracts in each issue have been expanded to 37 by adding 12 pages of unique content from ACP Journal Club’s sister journal, Evidence-Based Medicine. This additional content covers advances of relevance to primary care specialists in the fields of family medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, obstetrics, psychiatry, and surgery. Evidence-Based Medicine will no longer be sold as a stand-alone publication in the Americas; rather, subscribers to Evidence-Based Medicine will receive the expanded edition of ACP Journal Club at no extra charge. For those in North, Central, and South America, this means additional content from new studies and reviews in internal medicine. Internists who receive ACP Journal Club as a benefit of membership in the American College of Physicians–American Society of Internal Medicine and who have been subscribing to Evidence-Based Medicine will now get both journals under one cover. Those in the Americas who have been subscribing to both ACP Journal Club and Evidence-Based Medicine will also receive this two-in-one journal for the price of an ACP Journal Club subscription. (All subscribers to Evidence-Based Medicine will receive a pro-rated refund for the remainder of their subscription.) Happy New Year! Brian Haynes Editor
