ACP, AHA name top editors of new internal medicine journal

The American College of Physicians (ACP) and American Heart Association (AHA) have announced that Gustavo R. Heudebert, MD, will be the very first editor in chief of Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases (AIMCC), a new open access, peer-reviewed journal. Daniel P. Morin, MD, MPH, has been named the publication's deputy editor.

In his new role, Heudebert will oversee the AIMCC's editorial direction. Morin will provide assistance with all editorial responsibilities. 

"We are excited to launch AIMCC with Dr. Heudebert at the helm,” Darilyn V. Moyer, MD, CEO and executive vice president of ACP, said in a press release. “As an expert diagnostician with a background in scientific publishing, he will develop a compelling journal for clinicians in a broad range of specialties.” 

“Dr. Morin has impressive clinical and editorial experience, and he recognizes the value of case reports to clinicians,” Eldrin F. Lewis, MD, MPH, volunteer chair of the AHA’s Scientific Publishing Committee, added in the same press release. “Dr. Morin’s expertise in both internal medicine and cardiovascular disease and his enthusiasm for the subject matter will ensure AIMCC features cases that inspire clinicians in their patient care.”

The new online journal will be published bi-monthly, and it will be asking for submissions during the final months of 2021.
