There have recently been significant changes in the Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions' (JCEHP) Editorial Board, a body comprising the consulting editors, Editor-in-Chief (EIC), and associate and assistant editors (see JCEHP''s masthead). The changes involve the structure of the Editorial Board and the personnel who serve on the Board. This editorial addresses what has changed and why, and how these changes will affect various stakeholders. It also foreshadows changes yet to come.First, who is affected and how? For authors, the changes mean faster turnaround times on manuscript submissions and improved feedback from peer reviewers and editors; for readers, they mean increased quality in the articles published by JCEHP and topics that are more tightly linked to major theoretical and practical issues and problems in the field; and for JCEHP's deputy editors (which include Assistant Editors, Associate Editors, Web Editor, Reviews Editor, Book Review Editor, and Managing Editor), they create new opportunities for involvement in the journal and afford them greater influence over its content and direction.
