McGraw-Hill Education and JAMA partner on new technology


NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking evidence-based medicine to the next level for the entire field of healthcare, McGraw-Hill Education, the learning sciences company, and JAMA, the world's most widely circulated medical journal, announced the launch of an all-new platform for JAMAevidence, the premier online resource for learning, teaching, and applying evidence-based medicine (EBM).

"Launching JAMAevidence on this new platform is confirmation of our commitment to being at the forefront of this movement designed to improve the overall quality of healthcare," Grillo added.
