What is the relationship between ACP Medicine and the American College of Physicians?
A. In 2004, we joined forces with the American College of Physicians (www.acponline.org) to produce the first comprehensive reference of internal medicine bearing their name. This collaboration was a product of an extensive review of the content of the publication and editorial processes by the College, as well as a shared and long-standing commitment to helping physicians achieve excellence in clinical practice. The Editor-in-Chief of ACP Medicine reports directly to the Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the College regarding content development and peer review procedures, as well as editorial standards of the publication. In addition, our Editor-in-Chief provides an annual report to the ACP Publications Committee. A strong connection has long existed between our organizations, with many of our editors and authors having also been active in the College’s educational programs and publications.
