American Family Physician's chief objective is to provide high-quality continuing medical education for family physicians and other physicians providing primary care. The editors prefer original articles that are succinct, authoritative clinical reviews of a subject designed to aid family physicians in the care of patients. Articles that demonstrate a family practice perspective and approach to a common clinical condition are particularly desirable. The online edition contains selected material from the printed version.
