The complete content of American Medical News can be found online atwww.amednews.com. The site, updated Monday through Friday, features all the content of the print edition plus Web-only reporting. The print edition is published in a tabloid-size format 24 times a year.
American Medical News is directed to physicians in private practice and physicians on hospital and managed care staffs, in military service and on medical faculties. Of a total print circulation of over 230,000, about 90% are physicians, primarily office-based doctors in five primary-care specialties. A large portion of the nonphysician readers are medical students.
The other nonphysician readers include health regulators; legislators and their staffs; staffs of state, county and specialty medical societies; administrators of health programs; and journalists. These professional watchers of the health policy scene make up a small percentage of print circulation, but their work has an important impact on the medical profession and health care in America.
