What is a medical journal watch?

A medical journal watch is a newsletter series written for medical professionals. It is a timely report on a variety of medical studies. The role of a medical journal watch is to survey the newest literature in order to select and summarize the most noteworthy studies.
  • A medical journal watch can save you time. It offers medical professionals the opportunity to scan medical literature efficiently and effectively. Instead of reading and researching hundreds of journals you can scan one single concentrated and succinct newsletter.
  • A medical journal watch can save you money. Subscriptions to medical journals range from $100 - $400 annually. A medical journal watch will typically cover hundreds of journals.
  • A medical journal watch can keep you current. It typically reports on new studies shortly after they are published.
This is the second of our free quarterly newsletters, which will give you updates from our blog: CAM Watcher.  CAM Watcher covers therapies, patient resources and inspirational articles available to CAM practitioners on the Internet.  
 
  
Galen's Watch proudly supports the CAND and its continuing effort to promote naturopathic medicine in Canada.
