The journal: a change at the helm

  • Pierre JT De Villiers South African Academy of Family Physicians

Abstract

This is my last editorial in South African Family Practice, since my term finally expired on 31 December 2011, after 13 years. I can remember how Sam Fehrsen, a former editor, always used to talk about “the journal”, and so we all followed. To me, this is a term of endearment, respect, and recognition of the important role it played in the development of the discipline of family medicine.
