The HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine is a bi-monthly journal aimed at publishing research and educational materials that provide practical clinical care information or impact evidence-based medicine. The journal is open-access and does not charge subscription fees or author processing fees.

The journal is sponsored by HCA Healthcare Graduate Medical Education, in an effort to aid early-career physicians and those providing education for our future medical providers. Authors can receive ACGME scholarly credit for publishing an article with the journal.

The journal is currently accepting original research, literature and systematic reviews, quality improvement and patient safety studies, and case reports. A humanities section is also available for prose, poetry, art, and music. Letters to the editor are considered for those wishing to comment on articles published in the journal.
