To mark the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Medical Association Journal
(CMAJ), and its long-standing role in medicine in Canada, CMAJ has created a
bilingual video available at www.cmaj.ca that looks at medicine and health
over the last century. Take a trip back through the "pages" of CMAJ and
witness the impact of epidemics and infectious diseases, war, medical
discoveries and public health policy - as well as CMAJ's past and present
role as Canada's foremost medical journal.
