<p>Hey I'm really interested in medicine and would love to read and learn about the newest developments and things going on in the medical world. Are there any medical journals that I can subscribe to so that I get something either weekly, or monthly that I can just read to learn more?</p>
<p>JAMA and NEJM are both good choices.</p>
<p>^^^
Those were the two I was going to rec.--and are the ones it seems most often quoted in news.</p>
<p>Also, The Lancet.</p>
<p>yeah, those 3 are the big ones. There are various annals of "______" specialty journals too if you are interested in any one particular field.</p>
<p>How do you subsrice to thise and what do the acronyms stand for?</p>
<p>JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association</p>
<p>NEJM: New England Journal of Medicine</p>
<p>If you are a college student, you may be able to access them through your school's library website. If not, you will have to decide whether or not you want to spend a pretty penny on a subscription...</p>
<p>Most of those journals give a good amount of discounts to students/residents. And yeah when I move in next week I'm going to check my school's library for them or if they at least have online access to the content</p>
<p>The Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) is available online and you can read most if not all the articles free of charge: <a href="http://www.cmaj.ca/%5B/url%5D">http://www.cmaj.ca/</a></p>
<p>Free registration at The Lancet allows unlimited access to all abstracts and to some complete articles. See <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet%5B/url%5D">http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet</a></p>
<p>Student members of the AMA enjoy free online access to JAMA, the 9 Archive Journals and American Medical News. See <a href="http://pubs.ama-assn.org/%5B/url%5D">http://pubs.ama-assn.org/</a></p>
<p>PDF's of most articles older than 6 months from JAMA and 9 Archive Journals are free to download. Use Google's scholarly journal search to find articles.</p>
<p>Don't waste your money on a subscription. Your college library is nearly certain to have subscriptions to NEJM and JAMA, even if it does not have a medical school. Most public libraries also subscribe to these journals. If you are starting college, you will not be able to understand that many of the articles, making paying for them even more a waste. Both do cover broad medical policy issues with articles that are readable by those without medical degrees.</p>
