How do you keep up with changes in healthcare as a busy clinician? These three email newsletters for primary care physicians will help you stay current with the latest news, research, and medical best practices.
The first newsletter is a daily email, the second is weekly, and the third is monthly. All three e-newsletters are published by reputable organizations you know and trust.
1. AMA Morning Rounds Emails
AMA Morning Rounds delivers daily healthcare news straight to your inbox. The newsletter contains the most relevant information from over 3,000 major newspapers, magazines, and journals. It also includes highlights from the AMA and JAMA Network.
You can also sign up for a weekly or monthly roundup of essential stories from Morning Rounds if a daily newsletter is too much. In addition to Morning Rounds, the AMA has several other email newsletters of interest to primary care physicians, such as MedEd for students, the AMA Journal of Ethics, and CPT updates.
To sign up for Morning Rounds, go to AMA’s website and click “Subscribe/update preferences.”
