Editor: Jennifer Kearney-Strouse
Established: 1981
Audience: internal medicine physicians, internal medicine subspecialists

I.M. Matters from ACP is written for general internal medicine physicians and internal medicine subspecialists and is a benefit of paid ACP membership. Many internal medicine physicians are primary care physicians who provide disease prevention services, diagnosis, and treatment to adults and adolescents. 

Others have chosen to specialize in one of internal medicine’s 15 subspecialties: cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, endocrinology, hematology, rheumatology, neurology, pulmonary medicine, oncology, infectious diseases, allergy and immunology, sports medicine, critical care medicine, hospice and palliative medicine, or geriatrics.

I.M. Matters from ACP, published monthly online, presents news about clinical medicine, practice trends, the business of medicine, and national advocacy efforts for internal medicine physicians. I.M. Matters from ACP features a wealth of information on the clinical and business aspects of running a practice, including:

• in-depth features on the latest news and clinical issues in internal medicine;
• a practice management section with up-to-date regulatory news and practical advice;
• perspectives from ACP leaders and others in the medical community; and
• conference coverage from ACP’s annual meeting and other scientific meetings, focusing on subspecialties as well as health care policy.

ACP publishes several electronic newsletters that are available to ACP members: Latest From I.M. Matters, I.M. Matters from ACP electronic table of contents, ACP Diabetes Monthly, and ACP Gastroenterology Monthly. These ACP electronic newsletters circulate to very large audiences of physicians and other health care professionals.
