Duke Center for Brain and Spine Metastasis Deputy Director of Palliative Care, Chris Jones, MD, FAAHPM, has been named editor-in-chief of the Journal of Palliative Medicine.
“As someone in practice for over a decade now, I still marvel that we are close enough to our field's founding that many of our earliest leaders remain engaged in clinical practice, in regional, national, and international program leadership, and as members of JPM's Editorial Board,” Jones wrote in his introductory editorial dated Aug. 31, 2023. “I view the chance to build on the work of JPM's Founding Editor David Weissman, MD, and now Editor Emeritus Charles von Gunten, MD, PhD, as an incredible honor and a great responsibility."
