Larry Husten, PHD
The AMA announced today that Howard Bauchner will become the next editor-in-chief of JAMA. Bauchner will replace Catherine DeAngelis, who has been the editor for the past 11 years. Bauchner, a professor of pediatrics and community health sciences at Boston University Schools of Medicine, is currently the editor-in-chief of the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
“I have tremendous respect for JAMA and the prestige and stature it has achieved under Dr. DeAngelis,” said Bauchner, in an AMA press release. “JAMA is among the elite medical journals in the world and I am excited and honored by the opportunity to be its new editor.”
