In the Clinic

A popular monthly feature in Annals of Internal Medicine, In the Clinic offers evidence-based answers to frequently asked questions about screening, prevention, diagnosis, therapy, and patient education and provides physicians with tools to improve the quality of care. Focused on the practical management of patients with common clinical conditions, information is presented in an easy-to-read format emphasizing measures that can be readily integrated into practice. Content is drawn from the clinical information and educational resources of the American College of Physicians, including the College's Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program (MKSAP) and Physicians' Information and Education Resource (PIER).
