Aims & Scope

Postgraduate Medicine is a rapid peer-reviewed medical journal published for physicians. Tracing its roots back to 1916,  Postgraduate Medicine  was established by Charles Mayo, MD, as a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid physicians when making treatment decisions, and it maintains that aim to this day. In addition to its core subscriber base, Postgraduate Medicine is distributed to hundreds of US-based physicians within internal medicine and family practice.
