Abstract
With its thirteenth volume, in 1989 the Journal of Medical Education became Academic Psychiatry. The Editor-in-Chief at the time, Zebulon Taintor, stated that with its new name the journal sought to "mirror our aspiration to take in the whole field of academic psychiatry" (1). This transition coincided with the commitment of the Association for Academic Psychiatry (AAP) to step up to cosponsor the journal with the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training (AADPRT). Dr. Taintor described the journal as "the oldest medical specialty education journal—or the newest, since it is in fact the only medical specialty education journal in the world" (1). Twenty years later, some things are the same and some things are different. We still aspire to embrace all of academic psychiatry with our mission encompassing innovation in education, mentorship and professional development, and leadership in our field. We endeavor to foster early career authors and to affirm the roles of all faculty who serve the diverse and interdependent missions that uniquely reside in academic departments of psychiatry in our society.
