Professional Journal Subscriptions

I'm wondering what each of you might subscribe to in order to stay current.

I have some interests in some psych-related journals (obviously), but I'm also very interested in the American Family Physician, or something similar, to stay as current as possible on "other medical stuff." I've used the source quite a number of times for academic purposes and find it sufficiently explanatory yet concise.

Please chime in on what you subscribe to for your field. ESPECIALLY if you're in psychiatry.

Also, have you worked out a deal so your employing organization will cover costs for your journals beyond your CME allowance?

Thanks.

    I'll be honest, I subscribe to NO journals. However, I do use UpToDate daily and also listen to Audio Digest which I find much more useful to me as it is more focused on the topics I'm interested in.

    Prescriber's Letter is concise, relevant, and awesome. As an FNP, I also like American Family Physician.

    UpTodate is the data base to have. They have more information you could ever read. And you will find it to be the only resource you would need. You can get it on any app store. If you register with a email address but don't purchase a monthly or yearly subscription. You will receive a email in a day or two giving you a code to try for free for 2 months. Then you can decide.

    I do agree that journals tend to pile up half read. I would suggest that if you are in a specific specialty, have a list of landmark studies that shape and define patient management in that specialty. These studies typically are published in not just one journal so you're better of saving a pdf version of the specific article somewhere (a flash drive?).

    I work in critical care and there are landmark studies we still refer to in making decisions in our field such as: evidence for therapeutic hypothermia in out of hospital cardiac arrest (HACA, OHCA, 2002), ECMO in ARDS (CESAR, 2006), low tidal volume ventilation in ARDS (ARDSnet, 2000), blood transfusion in critical care (TRICC, 1999), glycemic control in the ICU (NICE-SUGAR, 2009), etc.
