Catherine DeAngelis



Catherine DeAngelis is the editor-in-chief for the Journal of the American Medical Association as of August, 2024.

This is not to say that Ms. De Angelis will be leaving her job soon, or that she has ever participated in activities which would cause her to lose her position with JAMA.

No

This is just to say that things can change and you never know, she could just one day up and decide that she would rather work somewhere else. Obviously, JAMA would never have cause to fire her. The innocent mention of when she holds the position of editor-in-chief for the Journal of the American Medical Association is not to imply that she could no longer be in JAMA's employ, but rather simply done in an effort to be as accurate as possible.

In addition, mentioning where Ms. DeAngelis works currently works is in no way to link the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association with her forever and ever but is, once again, an effort to be as accurate as current evidence allows.

How Much JAMA Values Ms. DeAngelis' Contributions
Unlike other publications--like newspapers--JAMA is not cash strapped or intimately-dependent on advertising or corporate sponsorship and as such is not in danger of having to cut down on staff or worry about whether the next edition will be publishing or not.

No.

JAMA has a great reputation that has lasted since it first started in 1883. That's more than 125 years of rock-solid peer-reviewed science; the industry standard. Unimpeachable integrity. That's the way medicine sees the Journal of the American Medical Association.

JAMA has much to be proud of, which is where Ms. DeAngelis' comes in. She is the embodiment of JAMA's critical objectives, such as: "'To maintain the highest standards of editorial integrity independent of any special interests ... To foster responsible and balanced debate on issues that affect medicine and health care ... [and] ... To achieve the highest level of ethical medical journalism and to produce a publication that is timely, credible, and enjoyable to read'"
