NEJM Group drives advancements in clinical practice by translating the latest research into actionable knowledge, improving patient outcomes. Join the editors to explore how we shape medical publishing to make a real impact where it matters most: at the bedside.
In an industry where journals are often incentivized to chase submissions and the Impact Factor, the New England Journal of Medicine and its companion journals have always had a singular aim: to directly impact medical practice as immediately and as effectively as possible, and thereby improve standards of care and patient outcomes.
In this webinar, join our NEJM Group editors for a discussion of how the publications are designed to change clinical practice today. You’ll gain insights into how editorial practices translate cutting-edge research into actionable knowledge for clinicians.
Whether your interest is research, practice, or policy, this session will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how NEJM Group stays at the forefront of medical publishing — ensuring that the science we publish makes a real difference where it matters most: at the bedside.
