Subject: The broad appeal of The BMJ for University-based Users

Medical educators know that the materials they find in The BMJ are top-quality teaching material. Whether it is a high impact research article to analyze in journal club or a clinical topic summary. These articles are crafted to engage and challenge all students, from undergraduates through to postdoctoral students, across diverse specialties and global settings. We strive to find truly original content, unlike that found in standard textbooks. In choosing what to cover, we prioritize topics that are common or have serious consequences. Every education article offers bullet points covering the specific take home messages and a one-sentence suggestion on how readers might implement these learning points in their own practice or institution.

All of The BMJ’s education content is intended to be accessible to a broad medical readership. Still, some articles are specifically designed with an early-career readership in mind, for example, the Practical Prescribing series and many of our Essentials articles. We note that early-career readers appreciate articles that focus on interpreting and acting on test results, as well as those that detail more universal skills such as quality improvement and leadership. Our ‘What Your Patient Is Thinking’ series (WYPITs) offers valuable insights and learning points and is useful for instilling respect for the patient’s perspective in the next generation of clinicians.

Subject: The special appeal of The BMJ for anyone studying medicine and more

Dear Colleagues,

Although mostly used by students of Medicine, The BMJ’s vast archive is a treasure trove for undergraduates in all subjects–including the humanities. The Student Editor regularly receives emails from students studying Law or English, for instance. But The BMJ is perhaps best known for its research articles, which are selected for clinical relevance, making them far more likely to interest undergraduate medical students than research published in the average medical journal.

And if students ever have questions like “What should I wear to placement?” or “Do I have medicolegal responsibilities if I were to carry out a Good Samaritan act?” they would find answers in The BMJ.

Students find the Practice Pointer series particularly useful, providing practical tips for carrying out clinical procedures that they won’t find in textbooks. The BMJ also offers plenty of opportunities to medical students to get involved with the journal; it’s a good place to start by becoming a reader of The BMJ.

Your lecturers know that the materials they find in The BMJ are top-quality teaching material. Whether it is a high impact research article to analyze in journal club or a clinical topic summary. These articles are crafted to engage and challenge readers interested in diverse specialties and based in diverse global settings. We strive to find truly original content, unlike that found in standard textbooks. In choosing what to cover, we prioritize topics that are common or have serious consequences.

Every education article offers bullet points covering the specific take home messages and a one-sentence suggestion on how readers will be able to implement these learning points when they enter practise themselves.
