Area of Science:
- Psychosomatic Medicine
- Medical Literature Review
Background:
- The annual volume of psychosomatic medicine literature presents a significant challenge for practitioners seeking to remain updated.
- Specialized knowledge is often limited to a narrow area of expertise due to the vastness of publications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To demonstrate a group process utilizing volunteer experts to create a manageable selection of critical psychosomatic medicine publications.
- The goal is to organize these key articles by specialty area for clinician accessibility in 2014.
Main Methods:
- Quarterly annotated abstracts were selected by experts from the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine and the European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine.
- A systematic review process covered 15 distinct subspecialties within psychosomatic medicine.
Main Results:
- In 2014, subspecialty experts identified 88 articles relevant to psychosomatic medicine practitioners.
- A curated list of 14 articles was selected for this specific review.
Conclusions:
- A group-based expert selection process effectively reduces the overwhelming body of psychosomatic medicine literature.
- This approach yields a valuable, organized list of important articles, supporting lifelong learning and professional development for physicians.
