Time of change – Editorial

Dear readers and collaborators, it is time for change in the editorial team of Scientia Medica. After almost 12 years working as the editor of this journal, I am pleased to transfer my position to Professor Manoel Antônio da Silva Ribeiro.I am grateful to all of those who contributed during this period to the success of this journal. The new editor will certainly continue to count on the same indispensable support and will have plenty of competence to maintain the constant growth of this important communication vehicle, an example of quality, ethics and integrity in scientific publishing.
