In this edition of ‘Rounds,’ we celebrated our 25th episode in style, looking back at our favorite memories from the show since we premiered last April and welcoming special guest Dr. Catherine DeAngelis, the Editor-in-Chief of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association — one of the premier medical journals in the world.

In November 2009, Executive Producer Shamie Das traveled to Houston, TX, to the American Medical Association (AMA) National Interim Conference, where he met keynote speaker Dr. DeAngelis and recorded this interview. Dr. DeAngelis is also a Professor of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and has been the recipient of seven honorary doctorate degrees and numerous awards for humanitarianism and medical excellence.

In the interview, she discusses how she came to be the Editor-in-Chief of JAMA and her views on evidence-based medicine and medical education.
