Find a topic, get a start

Are you searching for a topic and need a good place to start?  There are two major journals in the Philosophy of Medicine:

1. The Journal of Medicine and Philosophy and

2. Philosophy, Ethics and Humanities in Medicine

You can click on the link above to view the contents of either journal, or click here to view contents of them together.  Full text is available for both, so if you find a topic you would like to pursue, you will have an initial article and usually a good starting bibliography at the end of the article.
