Got some CME money to play with, what journals did you all subscribe to? JAMA, NEJM, Annals of IM? I want to get one solid medicine journal to read regularly in addition to SCCM. JAMA runs around $95 a year, NEJM $65 not sure about annals. SCCM is the pricy one at almost $300 a year but thats a must for me. Thoughts on a good IM journal to pick up?

If you give me $95 I'll send you all the JAMAs I get! Seriously, does anybody actually have to pay for that piece of crap? I've been getting it for free for nearly 15 years after donating some money to the AMA when I was an MS1 (like $20 or something). Don't waste you money on that.

Definitely get NEJM. Annals is a good way to go. If you're interested in research, JCI is nice but also pricey.

But quite honestly, I just use the online subscriptions my hospital has.

Very good one. Another one I like (and I have no connection with them) is MDLinx. I don't know what it's like in other specialties, but I get an email from them every day with links to articles in a particular area of oncology (pancreatic one day, breast the next, prostate the day after that, etc).

How did you get one for CHEST? Don't you have to be a fellow or pulmonary specialist already? Otherwise it costs like 300 dollars. Ridiculous.

What about JCI vs. JEM?
