Happy New Year! As we enter 2023, we are thrilled to announce our exciting plans for the Journal of Current Clinical Care. Our goal is to bring you the latest in medical research, advancements, and best practices in a timely and convenient way.

We understand the importance of having access to the latest clinical care knowledge, especially in today's fast-paced and ever-changing world. To make it easier and more convenient for our members to stay informed, going forward, we will be introducing a series of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) that are designed to bring selected topics to the forefront of our audience.

With these Apps, our members will have access to the most up-to-date information, features like push notifications, offline access, and home screen installation, making it easy to stay informed anytime, anywhere.
