Current Clinical Strategies Publishing - Professional Online Journals
This site is interesting in that it is taking a new approach to online access.
I paid the $10 and it was worth it. This company has many valuable items online,
journals in many medical areas, a medical reference library of books online,
such as a color atlas of skin diseases, a manual of family medicine, and diagnostic
history and physical exam. They also have online journals which are current.
A few of these are a journal of AIDS/HIV, Journal of Current Emergency Medicine
Management, and a Journal of Family Medicine online. All of these are available
for the subscription price of $9.95 a year. Much information is in PDF format,
which makes it useful only for printing and creates a longer download time -
still a bargain. Without a color printer the color on all will be missing. One
can subscribe online.
