It is with a great sense of honour that I take over as the Pathology Section Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal of Medical Specialties. This new iteration of our journal will replace the CJP which, under Dr. George Yousef’s lead, and the support of the Canadian Association of Pathologists, highlighted Canadian content and recognized the unique challenges and health care impact of pathology practice in this country.
In this iteration of our journal, we will continue to highlight Canadian content and particularly the unique practicing landscape of pathology in this country with vastly different resources. The journal will continue to accept submissions inclusive of clinical and translational research studies including those examining workflow, case reports, and novel technologies. We will continue to encourage submissions by junior pathology staff and trainees.
I encourage you to submit to this journal and help make it a strong voice for Canadian pathologists. We also welcome manuscript reviewers who wish to participate in the essential process of fair and timely peer-review – please contact EE@CanJMedSpec.com if you wish to be added to our reviewer list.
Thank you to my fellow editors, editorial staff, reviewers, and you, our reader, for their contribution to the success of this new journal. I look forward to this new adventure with all of you and please don’t hesitate to reach out to the email above if you have any questions.
