Read or Listen to latest 4 largest medical journals !!

.


This is a collection of articles I have found interesting in the weekly editions of the "big five" medical journals: NEJM, JAMA, Annals, Lancet and BMJ (a few more journals are included occasionally). Please see the end of the post for a suggested time-efficient way to stay up-to-date with the medical literature.



Medical Journals tab: A screenshot of iGoogle with RSS feeds from the major medical journals.

1. Subscribe to the RSS feeds of the 5 major medical journals (NEJM, JAMA, BMJ, Lancet and Annals) plus 2-3 subpecialty journals in your field of interest. RSS is a Really simple syndication where u will get the head lines of latest updates to your desktop....


2. Read the journal on the day it is published online, for example, NEJM on Wednesdays.

3. Listen to journal podcasts. Click here to subscribe the podcasts of the 4 major journals in iGoogle. Add the subscriptions to yourigoogle. Igoogle is little advanced than classic google search. just type www.igoogle.com in your browser and login with your gmail account. you can add the links of podcasts in your igoogle.
Alternate way is open reader.google.com and add the links i am giving below

1. NEJM,
