What’s making you happy right now? I am also a pediatric emergency medicine physician, and as we find ourselves in the difficult situation of the pandemic impacting children without a vaccine for many of them right now, ensuring time and space for what makes me happy is important right now. For me, this is spending time with my daughters going to parks, kayaking, being creative, and savoring special events we plan. I look f...

Meet the Editors: Teresa M. Chan, MD, MHPE
What are your roles and responsibilities with Academic Medicine?I am an associate editor for the journal. This means that I review submissions and triage them for review or not (e.g., desk rejections). When submissions are reviewed, I review them again and make a decision on whether to further ask the authors for a revision (or not). Finally, when revised submissions come in, I handle the manuscript again. At this phase, we may still reject the submission (if some red flag issues come to light) or I continue to provide feedback to the authors in concert with our editorial staff to ensure that the very best version of the...
