CMA editor extraordinaire retires

News

CJEM 2007;9(1):48-49

Jennifer Raiche, an editor with CJEM's publishers, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA), has announced that she is retiring at the end of 2006. Jen has worked with CJEM from the beginning, helping Grant and his new editorial team establish policies and procedures, as well as prepare all articles for publication over the past 8 years. She has been a key player in establishing CJEM as a powerful voice for Canadian emergency medicine.

She has been an editor with the CMA for more than 20 years, and during her tenure there she has held many positions. Since the early 1990s, she has worked on a number of specialty journals, including our own CAEP Communiqué, CJEM, the Canadian Journal of Rural Medicine, Humane Medicine, the Canadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy, the Federation of Medical Women of Canada's FMWC Newsletter, and the Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal. She also held positions on the Canadian Medical Association Journal, including Assistant Editor, Book Review Editor, and Editor of the now-defunct "Encore" section of CMAJ.

While we all wish her well in her future travels, her keen editorial skills, her experience, her friendly presence, and her knowledge of the history of the journal will be deeply missed.
