GIFT SUBSCRIPTION

Subject : complimentary gift subscription of current medical journal

Respected Sir/Madam,

I take this opportunity to introduce to you a medical journal which was launched from Chandigarh in January 1995, with the objective of bringing the latest information from the medical world and to improve day-to-day clinical practices of medical men of all disciplines. It is a monthly journal and is considered as a correspondence course by many of the readers. We have included MCQ-Sets (unsolved as well as solved ones) to the Journal. The MCQs offer an opportunity for self evaluation through self study. Current Medical Journal is the only medical journal in the world, giving MCQs on each writeup.

This is the 15th year of publication of CMJ (Oct, 09 is the 175th issue) and we have covered more than 2000 important topics through our continuing medical education (CME) programme. Through the columns of CMJ, we cover all types of topics including drug information, recent advances, management of common disorders, current topics, toxicology and socio-medical problems such as drug abuse, smoking, alcohol, tuberculosis, AIDS etc. We have also published many special issues.

Apart from the Editorial Board, we have got an Advisory board (of more than 400 consultants), constituted mainly from various medical institutions of different parts of the country. We provide all types of medical information and knowledge in very impressive format on a high quality of art paper.

The family physicians in their busy schedule have much less avenues of getting the latest information and updating their clinical practices. The scientific symposia/seminars are rarely held. The CMJ is trying to fill up this gap and brings the expertise and experience of medical teachers/super-specialists to the door steps of practising doctors serving the ailing humanity.

To support the cause of continuing medical education, you are requested to sponsor a complimentary copy for family physicians, consultants, dispensing doctors etc. By providing valuable reading material with MCQs, you are helping the family physicians in updating and at the same time soliciting the goodwill and support of so many practising doctors. You are requested to consider the proposal favourably.

Thanking you and expecting a favourable response.

With regards Sincerely Yours,

Dr. Sangeeta
(Editor
