Although many innovative and interesting ideas were brought forth in these face-to-face meetings, the AJM board unanimously agreed to invite our blog readers to suggest ways to improve the print Journal, AJM’s website, and/or the AJM blog. If you would like the editorial board and staff to consider making any changes in our current offerings, please comment on the blog. Alternatively, you are welcome to write to editors@amjmed.org.
