JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association is a peer-reviewed medical journal published 48 times a year by the American Medical Association. It publishes original research, reviews, and editorials covering all aspects of the biomedical sciences. The journal was established in 1883 with Nathan Smith Davis as the founding editor. The journal's current editor-in-chief is Howard Bauchner of Boston University, who succeeded Catherine DeAngelis on July 1, 2011.
The journal was established in 1883 by the American Medical Association and superseded the Transactions of the American Medical Association. The Councilor's Bulletin was renamed the Bulletin of the American Medical Association which was later absorbed by the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 1960 the journal obtained its current title, JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association. The journal is commonly referred to as JAMA.
Continuing Education Opportunities for Physicians was a semiannual journal section providing lists for regional or national levels of continuing medical education (CME). JAMA had provided this information since 1937. Prior to 1955, the list was produced either quarterly or semiannually. Between 1955 and 1981, the list was available annually, as the number of CME offerings increased from 1,000 (1955) to 8,500 (1981). The JAMA website states that webinars are available for CME.
On 11 July 2016 JAMA published an article by Barack Obama titled "United States Health Care Reform: Progress to Date and Next Steps", which was the first academic paper published by a sitting U.S. President. The article was not subject to blind peer-review and argued for specific policies which future presidents could pursue in order to improve national health care reform implementation.
