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.
