email article In the wake of a controversy centered on structural racism in medicine, Howard Bauchner, MD, is relinquishing his post as editor-in-chief of JAMA and the JAMA Network, the American Medical Association (AMA) announced. Bauchner's resignation will be effective June 30, 2021. He took the job about a decade ago, in 2011. In March, Bauchner was put on on administrative leave pending an investigation into a heavily criticized podcast and an accompanying tweet about structural racism in medicine. In a statement emailed to media by the AMA, Bauchner said he was "profoundly disappointed in myself for the lapses that led to the publishing of the tweet and podcast. Although I did not write or even see the tweet, or create the podcast, as editor in chief, I am ultimately responsible for them."
