About ClinicalEdge

ClinicalEdge was designed with the busy health care professional in mind. We help clinicians stay up-to-date on the most important practice-changing news and information in a quick, easy-to-digest digital format. 

In just a few minutes a week, ClinicalEdge keeps you abreast of clinical guidelines, FDA actions, and must-read clinical studies that are relevant to primary care practice. 

We save you time by surveying the literature from top peer-reviewed journals, selecting the guidelines and studies that will most impact your day-to-day practice, and summarizing the findings into a quick read.

All of the material we cover is selected by our ClinicalEdge editors to ensure everything in ClinicalEdge is relevant to you. Our experts then provide peer-to-peer commentary that put these studies into context for daily use.

And best of all, it’s free. Unlike some digests that require a paid subscription, ClinicalEdge is provided as a free service. Register today with any Frontline Medical Communications publication to receive free email updates when new summaries are posted.
