Annals of Internal Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal and is listed in Index Medicus.
Annals of Internal Medicine, the forum for leaders in medicine, improves physicians’ practice and advances patient care through its publication of scholarly studies and pertinent articles. The journal’s goals have remained constant for over 80 years: to enhance and disseminate new, clinical data, including peer-reviewed reports of original research, updates, clinical guidelines, summaries for patients, and creative writing by physicians.
Annals of Internal Medicine is written by internists for internists and other primary care physicians. The journal is a benefit of paid ACP membership for internists and medical students. Many internists are primary care physicians who provide diseaseprevention services, diagnosis, and treatment to adults and adolescents. Others have chosen to specialize their practice in one of internal medicine’s fourteen subspecialties: cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, endocrinology, hematology, rheumatology, neurology, pulmonary disease, oncology, infectious diseases, allergy and immunology, sports medicine, critical care medicine and geriatrics. There are twice as many general internists and subspecialists in the United States (219,344 as of June 2007) as family physicians (99,092) and general practitioners (9,383) combined, and last year internists wrote nearly half a billion prescriptions. This group constitutes the ideal market for advertisers who wish to reach high-prescribing clinicians treating adult patients.
