The New England Journal of Medicine is an active peer-reviewed medical journal published weekly by the Massachusetts Medical Society. Established in 1812 by Boston physician and scholar John Collins Warren in collaboration with colleague James Jackson as the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery and the Collateral Branches of Medical Science, it acquired its current name in 1928 and publishes the latest research in general internal medicine.

Each issue features original articles and practical clinical information that advances medical science and improves patient care. It also contains perspectives, correspondence, editorials, interactive medical cases, and review articles useful to physicians, educators, researchers, and the global medical community.

The journal's logo depicts the snake-wrapped rod of the ancient Greek god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicine, crossed over a quill pen. The dates in each quadrant represent the founding of the journal’s components: 1812 for the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery and Collateral Branches of Medical Science, 1823 for the Boston Medical Intelligencer, 1828 for the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, and 1928 for the New England Journal of Medicine.

The Internet Archive Collection contains microfilm published between 1828 and 2014.
