Howard Bauchner says his window on American medicine as editor of its leading journal will help him as a member of the National Academy of Medicine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Howard Bauchner, a School of Medicine professor of pediatrics, has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine<\/a> (NAM), one of the top honors for physicians. He has been on leave from BU since 2011, when he was named editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Medical Association<\/em><\/a> (JAMA)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bauchner (MED\u201979) is among 80 doctors and academics elected to NAM this year, 10 of them international members. New membership, voted on by current members, \u201crecognizes individuals who have made major contributions to the advancement of the medical sciences, health care, and public health,\u201d according to the organization.<\/p>\n

With almost 2,000 members following the recent elections, the 45-year-old academy advises national and international policy-makers on health and medical issues, offers fellowships and scholarships, runs expert workshops and meetings, and publishes papers. It was formerly known as the Institute of Medicine.<\/p>\n

Bauchner says that his work at JAMA<\/em> gives him \u201ca broad view of American health care\u201d that will serve him well as a NAM member. \u201cMy election is a tribute to the environment in which I spent most of my professional career\u2014Boston University School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center<\/a>\u2014and reflects my remarkable mentors\u2026and my many wonderful colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\n

He is delighted at his election, he says, noting that NAM membership \u201cwill increase contact with leaders in American medicine, which will be enormously helpful for JAMA<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Bauchner is an outstanding clinician, mentor, investigator, and editor,\u201d says Karen Antman, dean of MED and provost of the Medical Campus, and his election is \u201ca distinct honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before becoming JAMA<\/em>\u2019s leader in 2011, Bauchner spent a quarter century at MED and Boston Medical Center, its affiliated teaching hospital. JAMA<\/em> hired him in part because of his broad editorial experience\u2014he was the first United States\u2013based editor-in-chief of Britain\u2019s Archives of Disease in Childhood<\/a><\/em> and has sat on the editorial boards of several publications. An expert on health promotion, quality improvement, and clinical trials, he has written more than 125 papers.<\/p>\n

Bauchner says he expects to \u201cbe at JAMA<\/em> a bit longer,\u201d noting that the journal\u2019s typical editor serves 10-plus years.<\/p>\n
