Joseph Ross, MD, MHS, professor of medicine (general medicine), Yale School of Medicine, and of public health (health policy and management), Yale School of Public Health, was recently named deputy editor of the peer-reviewed journal JAMA.
Ross is looking forward to his new endeavor. “This is an exciting time for the journal, and I am looking forward to having the opportunity to work with the journal’s new leadership, particularly the new Editor in Chief, Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo. When she took over as the editor in chief in late 2022, she began leading the journal towards her vision of using scholarship and publishing to address the most pressing issues in medicine, from open science to structural racism to climate change,” Ross said.
“JAMA and the JAMA Network have an unparalleled opportunity to inform, shape, and influence the practice of medicine in the United States and around the world. With such an extensive reach comes the responsibility to ensure that the research, education, and clinical content is of the highest rigor and quality, to embrace the digital transformation of publishing, and to lead the profession towards addressing health and healthcare equity, making medicine more patient- and community-centered and improving healthcare quality and population health.”
Ross has held numerous editor roles over the years, including serving as an associate editor of JAMA Internal Medicine from 2013-2019 and the U.S. Outreach and Associate Editor at the BMJ from 2020-2023.
