[...]in the novel area of integrated medicine, psychologists have brought honor and distinction to their home medical schools and academic health sciences centers consistent with their physician counterparts and clinical partners. While there have been few psychologists who have served as deans of schools of medicine, the representation as deans of schools of public health and schools of health professions is widespread. [...]there are many psychologists who currently serve as associate deans, division chiefs, and institute directors at their respective institutions. [...]the Journal has a prominent international presence whereby our psychology colleagues throughout the world have published important work and employ it as a means of connecting with others in the United States as well as throughout the world. [...]please consider the Journal as a potential outlet for your work.
