I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Joe and Terry Graedon to the position of Co-Editors-in-Chief for the Journal of Participatory Medicine. Since our previous Co-Editor, Jessie Gruman, stepped down for health reasons several months ago, we have spent some time considering potential candidates to replace her in the “consumer” role of Journal editor (I serve in the “health care provider” editor role). <\/p>\n

Joe and Terry are a perfect fit to step in as Journal editors. They were founding members of the “ePatient Scholars” group, an eclectic band, along with the late Dr. Tom Ferguson, that eventually led to the founding of the Society of Participatory Medicine and the Journal of Participatory Medicine<\/em>. Many of you know them as the founders and hosts of “The People\u2019s Pharmacy,” a popular weekly radio program on National Public Radio. In addition, they have an excellent website resource center<\/a> by the same name. <\/p>\n

Joe is a pharmacologist and Terry is a medical anthropologist. They reside in Durham, NC near Duke University. They have coauthored numerous books, including The Aspirin Handbook<\/em>, Best Choices from the People\u2019s Pharmacy<\/em>, Graedon\u2019s Best Medicine: From Herbal Remedies to High-Tech Rx Breakthroughs<\/em>, and many others. Please join me in welcoming Joe and Terry to the Journal.<\/p>\n
