Welcome, Family Medicine Residents!

Welcome, family medicine residents! We are happy to introduce and welcome all US family medicine residents to JABFM! Courtesy of the American Board of Family Medicine, all family medicine residents will now regularly receive our table of contents electronically, as do all American Board of Family Medicine diplomates and any others who sign up through the www.jabfm.org website at www.jabfm.org/alerts. All access is free (called “open access”), and we publish articles when completed ahead of print, enhancing the immediacy of information.

We not only hope to become a routine part of your lifelong learning program but expect to encourage your intellectual curiosity to improve care for patients, their families, and their communities. We believe JABFM will become a trusted source of continuous professional development to be returned to regularly over your career. JABFM publishes original, peer reviewed, clinically applicable research by and for family physicians to improve patient care. Articles are indexed and available through PubMed.

Please share this link with any other interested individuals, such as medical students, general internal medicine or pediatric residents, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. Some articles are also specifically helpful for family medicine office staff and those responsible for quality of care and the business aspects of family medicine.
