“As Dr. Brazeau steps down, we express our deepest gratitude for her years of dedication and leadership. Her legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire and guide the journal and its contributors for years to come.”

“Her willingness to meet with authors to refine their ideas and drafts has been a transformative gift, shaping the careers of countless individuals in our community."

Beyond her direct effect on the Journal, from increasing the impact factor to managing a daunting backlog, “perhaps one of Dr. Brazeau’s most unique and powerful contributions has been her personal commitment to mentoring authors,” said Lee Vermeulen, AACP EVP & CEO.

“It’s gratitude, it’s appreciation. Each of us has to find our little place in the pharmacy Academy—perhaps mine (or my ‘piece’ as [AACP President-elect] Robin put it) was to help advance our journal just a little further.”

“Thank you isn’t even close to what I want to say here,” said Dr. Gayle Brazeau in today’s AJPE Editorial Board meeting, as she prepares to step down from her Editor-in-Chief role after two decades.

She will engage with associate editors, authors, reviewers & AACP staff to ensure the Journal reflects current trends and meets the needs of its members, while guiding the Journal into its next phase of growth & impact. 🔗 For the full announcement:
