MD Digests is a vast collection of evidence summaries from five major medical journals. Each MD Digest includes not only an evidence summary, but also informative, authoritative Related Links to other internet resources, and carefully prepared Related Literature Searches. Published twice weekly, MD Digests helps physicians keep current by reviewing the latest medical research.

MD Digest
Each MD Digest aims to answer a clinical question based on evidence gathered from a recently published study. Our MD Digest editors, based in Cambridge, England, carefully select articles from the Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, BMJ, JAMA, and Annals of Internal Medicine which have particular influence on the way you practice medicine. The evidence presented in these articles is then presented in a convenient abstract, and the article references are included in the abstract so that you may research the topic further.

Related Links
HealthStream's Knowledge Manager carefully researches Internet resources to bring you the most relevant clinical and educational information on each MD Digest topic. Conveniently categorized as either "Patient Education" or "Practice Information," each Related Link provides supplementary information to the evidence summary.

Related Literature Searches
Related Literature Searches are prepared Medline queries, composed by a medical librarian, which yield articles pertaining to a particular facet of each MD Digest topic. Each Related Literature Search will take users to PubMed, where they will be able to view the results of our research.
