La chronique Sur le net du JAMC cherche à suivre l'évolution fulgurante du World Wide Web et ses conséquences pour les médecins et les soins de santé. Cette chronique, qui paraît à chaque numéro, est rédigée par des membres du personnel de l'AMC et par des experts de l'Internet, souvent médecins. Elles ont pour objet de relever les nouvelles tendances et les développements de cette nouvelle ressource pour le secteur de la santé que constitue le web. La chronique s'attarde particulièrement aux sites web et aux questions qui ne se rapportent pas directement aux médecins, mais à leurs patients. Ainsi, le JAMC espère informer ses lecteurs médecins des enjeux émergents avant que leurs propres patients ne les leur signalent.
