About the blog

The Now@NEJM blog, produced by the NEJM publishing communications team, is about new and innovative content in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM.org). Our goal is to inform you about what’s new and provide some additional context to complement the content published in NEJM.

Each week we post a piece under Insights about one of the latest research papers in NEJM, discussing its clinical significance, where it may lead us in practice and research, and often giving an editor’s thoughts about why it was important to publish. We pose questions to stimulate your thinking and discussion. The idea is to make it easy for you to give us your views on a particular topic and make the conversation accessible to other doctors and physicians-in-training. Posts contain links to the full article, which will be free to all visitors for a limited time.

We also feature two posts from the Resident e-Bulletin each week, with an article summary, “Clinical Pearls,” and “Morning Report Questions” – teaching points that many of you find so useful in your roles as teachers or trainees. The blog gives us a new way to distribute and store this educational information on the social web, again, inviting comment and discussion.

You’ll also hear about new products and applications as we bring them out, such as new Interactive Medical Cases, or iPhone applications, like NEJM This Week and the Image Challenge. We link to videos on the NEJMvideo channel on YouTube, share our Twitter feed, and links to NEJM in the News, too.

We’d like this to be an open forum, complementary to the core content of NEJM, engaging you in a new experience beyond the journal page in a more interactive community.
