About the North Carolina Medical Journal

The North Carolina Medical Journal was founded in 1849 by the North Carolina Medical Society. Since 2002, the journal has been copublished by the North Carolina Institute of Medicine and The Duke Endowment. The journal is published 6 times per year and is read by a wide range of health care professionals, policy makers, government officials, business executives, educators, researchers, and interested lay people.

Each issue of the journal has a topical focus referred to as the policy forum. The policy forum is introduced by an extended issue brief that provides an overview of key issues related to the focal topic. The issue brief is followed by commentaries and sidebars written by persons with special expertise or perspectives on various aspects of the topic. The policy forum is complemented by a regular series of departments—Tar Heel Footprints in Health Care, Spotlight on the Safety Net, Running the Numbers, and Philanthropy Profile—that highlight important people, agencies, and data in areas within the scope of the policy forum.

Issues also include a collection of peer-reviewed articles featuring original research on topics relevant to the health of North Carolinians.

Major funding support for the NCMJ comes from The Duke Endowment. Cosponsors of the journal include the North Carolina Dental Society, the North Carolina Medical Society, the North Carolina Hospital Association, Leading Age North Carolina and the North Carolina Association of Nurse Anesthetists. Contributing members of the North Carolina Institute of Medicine include East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine, UNC School of Medicine, Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine, Wake Forest School of Medicine, and Duke University School of Medicine.

Bibliographic citations and abstracts of articles published in the NCMJ are searchable via PubMed.
