Decker Intellectual Properties, Inc., has signed a licensing agreement with Scientific American to re-establish the comprehensive professional medical database, Scientific American Medicine (SAM). The subscription-based database, first published in 1981, now includes an enhanced medical offering through this agreement with Scientific American. For the past ten years (2004-2013), the resource was known as American College of Physicians Medicine.
Scientific American Medicine has a reputation of providing practicing clinicians and students with comprehensive and up-to-date medical information. Now, Scientific American will offer the editors of SAM access to Scientific American magazine's vast archive and cutting-edge reporting to incorporate relevant articles into the medical database. Decker will provide subscribers to SAM with custom-tailored RSS feeds of Scientific American content, as well as a trial subscription to the magazine. These added resources will help busy medical professionals keep up to date in areas of science, medicine, health and technology.
Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel is the Editor in Chief of Scientific American Medicine. Dr. Nabel is also President of Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Scientific American Medicine is a continuously updated resource. It covers all subspecialties of internal medicine plus Women's Health, Neurology, Emergency Medicine, Genetics and Psychiatry. Scientific American Medicine is available as an online resource as well as in loose-leaf and CD-ROM, formats. SAM provides clear and actionable diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
