RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Retrieving Family Medicine's Lost Literature: The Journal of Family Practice 1974-1999 Archive JF The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine JO J Am Board Fam Med FD American Board of Family Medicine SP 477 OP 480 DO 10.3122/jabfm.2021.03.200554 VO 34 IS 3 A1 Larry A. Green A1 James C. Puffer YR 2021 UL http://www.jabfm.org/content/34/3/477.abstract AB The first repository of research in family medicine in the United States was the Journal of Family Practice (JFP) (https://www.mdedge.com/familymedicine). Much of the original development, debates about family medicine and primary care, and subsequent discoveries reside in JFP issues from 1974 to 1999. An archive of these issues is now available online after being somewhat lost for several years. It is a treasure-trove of information that reveals the evolution of family medicine as a discipline and remains pertinent to the current challenges and aspiration of family medicine and primary care. Investigators can benefit from checking this archive to build from prior work and avoid unnecessarily starting over.
