The founding editor and managing editor of CAL/JEM is Dr. Robert W. Derlet from University of California, Davis School of Medicine. The first issue of the journal was printed in July 2000 which consisted of four pages and was distributed to 200 individuals. Dr. Antoine Kazzi from UC Irvine, School of Medicine assumed the managing editor position in January 2001. Dr. Robert Rodriguez, at the time from Alameda County Medical Center (Highland) Emergency Medicine Residency Program, assumed the Editor-in-Chief position in July 2002. Dr. Warren Wiechmann, a UC Irvine medical student at the time, began placing the journal online at www.cajem.org. At the time Cal/JEM was being distributed to 2200 emergency physicians in California. After Dr. Kazzi moved to Beirut to become the interim Chair in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the American University of Beirut, Dr. Shahram Lotfipour from UC Irvine accepted the managing editor position in January 2006. In January 2006 the journal’s paper quality was upgraded and in March 2006 color was added. The last issue of 2006 was mailed to 2800 individuals in California and the west coast of the U.S. Dr. Steve Gabaeff, the President of CAL/AAEM, started the Academic Task Force in March 2006 as collaboration between the California Academic Departments, Divisions and Sections of Emergency Medicine with the goal of obtaining CAL/JEM indexing in PubMed. Dr. Lotfipour with support from staff at UC Irvine initiated online placement of the journal at eScholarship. Dr. Mark Langdorf assumed the Editor-in Chief in February 2007. Throughout the journal has had excellent support on its editorial staff from several California Academic Departments, Divisions and Sections of Emergency Medicine. Our most immediate goal is to increase submissions to the Journal and to obtain PubMed indexing.
