Journal Based CME
In January 2009, the AAPM&R launched its own scientific journal, PM&R, which designates 3 articles for CME per issue. Prior to 2009, journal based CME was available through designated articles within each monthly issue of the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a joint publication of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) and AAPM&R. Each journal CME activity is designated for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and fulfills the requirement for Part II of Maintenance of Certification® (MOC) set forth by the American Board of PM&R (Lifelong Learning and Self Assessment*).
To claim journal based CME, please select from the following sources:
*Starting with 2010 issues of PM&R, Academy members and residents can claim Journal CME for free!
PM&R Journal Selected for MEDLINE Indexing
The Academy’s official scientific journal, PM&R, has been accepted for inclusion in MEDLINE, the premier bibliographic database for journal articles in medical and life sciences. Less than a quarter of the titles reviewed by the National Library of Medicine are selected for the MEDLINE database.
This inclusion is an early indicator that the Academy’s new journal already meets the needs of researchers, academics, administrators, students and health care practitioners. Read the full details.
Interested in reviewing a scientific manuscript for PM&R?
This presentation was given at the 2008 AAPM&R Annual Assembly in San Diego. Although the workshop was directed toward journal peer reviewers, the content is of value is to anyone with an interest in evaluating scientific literature more critically.
This session includes an introduction by PM&R Editor-in-Chief Stuart M. Weinstein, MD, on the roles and responsibilities of peer reviewers, and a description of the PM&R manuscript review process. The presentation by PM&R Associate Editor Kristin Sainani, PhD, emphasizes peer-review assessment of a manuscript’s hypothesis, study design, data collection and analysis, statistical methods, and common errors encountered in this peer-review process. Finally, Dr. Weinstein discusses preparing and uploading reviews incorporating the specific requirements of the PM&R journal.
