The BMJ. Comprehensive. Authoritative. Trustworthy

Your lecturers know that the materials they find in The BMJ are top-quality teaching material. For instance:

• a high impact research article to analyse in journal club (all our research articles have been selected for clinical relevance, so they are far more likely to be of interest to undergraduate medical students than research published in the average medical journal)
• a clinical topic summary crafted to engage and challenge readers interested in diverse specialties and based in diverse global settings
• our Practice Pointer series that give you practical tips in carrying out clinical procedures that you won’t find in textbooks
• education articles — every one offers bullet points covering the specific take-home messages and a one-sentence suggestion how readers will be able to implement these learning points when they enter practice themselves

At The BMJ we strive to find truly original content for medical students, unlike that found in standard textbooks. But, in choosing what to cover, we prioritise topics that are common or have serious consequences–to maximise their relevance to the greatest number of medical students. And if you ever have questions like “What should I wear to placement?” or “Do I have medicolegal responsibilities if I were to carry out a Good Samaritan act?” then it is in The BMJ that you will find an answer.
