JAMA Internal Medicine

JAMA Internal Medicine is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand JAMA Internal Medicine rather than just read about it. In short: JAMA Internal Medicine is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Medical Association. It was established in 1908 as the Archives of Internal Medicine and obtained its current title in 2013.

Key takeaways

JAMA Internal Medicine belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect JAMA Internal Medicine to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of JAMA Internal Medicine from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

JAMA Internal Medicine is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Medical Association. It was established in 1908 as the Archives of Internal Medicine and obtained its current title in 2013. It covers all aspects of internal medicine, including cardiovascular disease, geriatrics, infectious disease, gastroenterology, endocrinology, allergy, and immunology. Sharon K. Inouye of Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital became the journal editor-in-chief on July 1, 2023, succeeding Rita F. Redberg of the University of California, San Francisco. According to Journal Citation Reports, the journal's 2022 impact factor is 39.0, ranking it 7th out of 168 journals in the category "Medicine, General & Internal".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with JAMA Internal Medicine

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what JAMA Internal Medicine claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to JAMA Internal Medicine before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about JAMA Internal Medicine ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of JAMA Internal Medicine

In research: JAMA Internal Medicine appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses JAMA Internal Medicine in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: JAMA Internal Medicine is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1908 establishments in the United States, American Medical Association academic journals, English-language journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for JAMA Internal Medicine outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is JAMA Internal Medicine in simple terms?

Why does JAMA Internal Medicine matter?

Because it connects several biology ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study JAMA Internal Medicine?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
