Ethics & Medicine will enter a new era of publication with the next issue, 36:3. Founded almost four decades ago in Edinburgh, Scotland, by Nigel M. de S. Cameron, the journal is one of the longest running journals in the field. It has been my honor and privilege to edit the journal for more than half of its existence. Both Nigel and I have benefited in innumerable ways from our association with the members of the Editorial Advisory Board and regular contributors to the journal. For those individuals, and their enormous contributions, we are most grateful.
The new editor, I am happy to report, is the formidable Michael J. Sleasman, PhD, Associate Professor of Bioethics and the Director of Bioethics Degree Program at Trinity Graduate School, Trinity International University in Chicago, Illinois. Professor Sleasman previously served for twelve years as the Managing Director and Research Scholar for The Center for Bioethics & Human Dignity (CBHD), well known to most readers of Ethics & Medicine. Professor Sleasman has been a colleague and friend and will do an outstanding job.
Under its new editorship, Ethics & Medicine will continue to be a peer-review journal. Trinity Graduate School, a fully accredited academic institution will assume publication of the journal under the highest standards of editorial ethics. In addition, readers can expect a more robust online service at www.ethicsandmedicine.com.
On a very personal note, I would like to thank the editorial team of Ethics & Medicine for their support of the current editor’s work. Carol Marlin has done extraordinary work as our managing editor, persistently, but graciously trying to keep the journal on schedule, though not always finding a cooperative editor. Lillie Salazar has been a trouper—and, before her, Abby Wills and a list of other editorial assistants too long to mention—balancing her own degree work with following up with peer reviewers and preparing copy, following up with peer reviewers and preparing copy,
and following up with peer reviewers and preparing copy, ad infinitum. The work of the journal would have come to a halt were it not for them.
As the only international journal I know of that is committed to the revival and cultivation of Christian Hippocratism, Ethics & Medicine continues to occupy a niche that is hugely underdeveloped and in need of additional voices. May her witness be multiplied. E&M
