The Journal of the Norwegian Medical Association (Norwegian: Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening) was founded in 1881, five years before the Norwegian Medical Association was established, as the Tidsskrift for praktisk Medicin. The journal changed names in 1888 to Organ for Den norske lægeforening before obtaining its current name in 1890 (until 2008 spelled as Tidsskrift for Den norske lægeforening). It is a peer-reviewed medical journal and is published 24 times a year by the Norwegian Medical Association (Den norske lægeforening) and sent to all its members. It includes academic research and review articles, news stories, and debates about professional issues and education, as well as discussion of medical education. The journal has been indexed by Index Medicus, MEDLINE, and PubMed since 1965.
The journal accepts advertising for prescription drugs that cannot be legally advertised to the general public. It also includes advertisements for specialist practices and private hospitals. The editor in chief is Charlotte Haug.
