Two sessions on Sunday, May 21, will provide a forum for discussion about the cutting-edge research recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association.

JAMA and the New England Journal of Medicine Discussion on the Edge: Reports of Recently Published Critical Care Research will take place from 9–10:30 a.m. ET in Room 207 A-B (Level 2) of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA Discussion on the Edge: Reports of Recently Published Pulmonary Research will follow in the afternoon, from 2:15–3:45 p.m., in the same location.

Each session will feature author presentations on recent publications selected by the journal editors for their significance to the specialty being addressed. The audience will have the opportunity to pose questions directly to the authors and editors.

Through these discussions, attendees will further their understanding of the published research, including its direct application to critical care and pulmonary medicine, as well as the selection process for publication.

Christopher W. Seymour, MD, MSc, University of Pittsburgh, and Darren B. Taichman, MD, PhD, New England Journal of Medicine, will chair the morning session on critical care medicine.

Dr. Taichman and George T. O’Connor, MD, Boston University School of Medicine, will chair the afternoon session on pulmonary medicine.
