Membership & Networking Opportunities: JACC.org includes limited information on membership engagement and networking, which can be difficult to find. Networking opportunities are typically tied to scientific conferences and may appear briefly in the homepage carousel. There's potential confusion between journal subscriptions and ACC membership — subscriptions are a type of membership and users can subscribe without being ACC members. There is no clear connection is made between JACC content and ACC member benefits. The site could better promote member value by linking to ACC membership. 

Donations & Philanthropy: JACC.org hosts very few articles that reference donations and philanthropy on the site, but no direct links or dedicated sections for donations.​ Search engine results return article links related to organ donation on JACC.org.  

Events: Specific events are temporarily promoted on the website carousel, however users must access the Events section using the navigation menu. The Events section mainly provides simultaneous publications and research presented at large scale scientific.  

Scientific Publications / Latest Science: Scientific publications are the core focus of JACC.org, with the latest research prominently displayed on the homepage and accessible through top-level navigation.  

Practice Support Resources: The website offers practice guidelines and clinical documents, which are valuable resources for practitioners. However, there is no help and guidance on how to professionally run a practice. 

Patient-Facing Tools & Content: While some articles mention patient-facing tools, there is no dedicated section or prominent links for patient resources on the homepage or main navigation. Users would need to search extensively to find such content, indicating a low emphasis on patient-facing initiatives. 

Education: Access to educational content (CME/MOC) is present on JACC.org, including articles on medical education. However, the page content directs users to Learn.acc.org. 

Advocacy: JACC.org lacks a dedicated advocacy section. Policy topics may appear in articles, but formal advocacy efforts are not visible or accessible from the site.
