AccessMedicine has incorporated a great news feature, 2 Minute Medicine. 2 Minute Medicine originates with Marc Succi, MD, a physician at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, and is designed to help health care professionals sift among new journal articles for the highest quality evidence. 2 Minute Medicine focuses on identifying the highest impact medical literature and interpreting those articles for health care professionals.

- Bullet points describing the primary findings of the article.
- An evidence rating level
- A study rundown describing past research on this topic and this study's findings
- Links to the full-text of the original study
- In-depth - a more detailed look at the methodology and results of the study.
