About Physician’s First Watch
This clinically focused bulletin, the newest member of the Journal Watch family of newsletters, brings you the last 24 hours of medical news in the first three minutes of your day. Physician's First Watch delivers succinct briefings — gleaned from medical journals, government agencies, scientific conferences, and major media outlets — on the developments and events most likely to affect your practice. It's all vetted by our eight-member board of physician-editors and e-mailed to you by 7:30 EST each weekday morning.
