Scope
The Rhode Island Medical Society (RIMS) launched the Rhode Island Medical Journal (RIMJ) as a monthly publication in January 1917 and, except for a brief period during World War I, it has been published continuously since its inception.
In 2013, the Journal, which had assumed other titles in its century-rich history, reverted to its original name and became an online-only, open-access, e-publication.
The Journal’s mission, however, has remained the same as stated by its first editor, Dr. Roland Hammond, 102 years ago: “We wish all the medical interests of the state to collaborate in the production of a journal which shall truly represent the state in reality as it does in name.”
Continuing this proud tradition into the new Millennium, the independent, peer-reviewed, Rhode Island-centric Journal continues to publish original clinical contributions, commentary, Images in Medicine, case reports and presentations, medical literature reviews and letters to the editor.
Through a comprehensive e-distribution network, RIMJ is sent to a diverse audience of healthcare professionals, organizations and academic institutions throughout the state.
