About the Publication: The New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery and the Collateral Branches of Science was founded in 1812 by future Massachusetts Medical Society president John Collins Warren, M.D. After a merger and name change, the publication was called The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal until, in 1928, it became known as The New England Journal of Medicine. Officially owned by the Massachusetts Medical Society since 1921, the journal is highly respected by both doctors and medical schools.
