      During JAMDA's first 15 years of publication, it was the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. In 2014, JAMDA was renamed the Journal of Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, better reflecting the breadth of the long-term care spectrum and the involvement of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other members of the interdisciplinary care team.

      AMDA, much more than a rose by another name.
      As the new editors-in-chief of JAMDA, we heartily endorse this evolution to a broader perspective of post-acute and long-term care (PA/LTC) medicine.
