And if you're a Basic Physician Trainee, the [Case Report] series might help you prepare for your long case clinical exams. This is also the home of [IMJ On-Air] , featuring authors from the Internal Medicine Journal sharing their latest research. Meanwhile, the [Journal Club] episodes give RACP members a place to talk through their research published in other academic journals.
