About

CardioExchange is an invitation-only site for medical professionals interested in cardiology, with an emphasis on physicians, cardiology fellows, and clinical care practitioners. It is not open to the public.

CardioExchange is a pilot and is operated by the publishers of the New England Journal of Medicine and Journal Watch. The pilot is scheduled to run through December 2010. During this time, we hope to learn a lot about what works best for members, what it takes to run a successful online community, and how we can improve the experience for everyone involved. Our charter members will be important sources for this input.

As a CardioExchange member, you’ll get access to exclusive content from cardiology leaders and researchers; find and connect with colleagues; contribute comments; find jobs; and share event notices.
