The subscription-based JSOM is the only academic peer-reviewed and PubMed indexed journal devoted to unconventional, tactical and operational medicine. Our authors and editors are leaders in their respective fields. In addition to our individual print and digital subscriber base, we have thousands of institutional end-users accessing from universities and medical libraries around the world.
One of the ways the JSOM is celebrating our 20 years in publication is by adding a new section, THEN and NOW. Our topics are Whole Blood-Spring; Tourniquets-Summer; Prolonged Field Care-Fall; and TCCC-Winter. We have pulled excerpts and abstracts from our first five years in publication, and from our last five years. We end the section with an OpEd from a subject matter expert on the section topic to pull it all together. This is a real eye-opening section you don't want to miss
In addition, the JSOM team has recently started bringing you quarterly podcasts with editorial reviews from each edition. Each podcast includes a guest medic editor and a discussion with one of the authors from a current article. And to help celebrate our 20th anniversary, we have an ever increasing number of interviews from community leaders who share their opinions and experiences about how SOF medicine has changed in the 20 years that JSOM has been in publication. Please be sure to listen to these regarded leaders in our field.
