George D. Lundberg

George D. Lundberg (born March 21, 1933) is an American board-certified pathologist and writer.[1]

Lundberg served as editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) for 17 years. In 1999, Lundberg was fired from this position after publishing a controversial article on how college students define oral sex. The article coincided with President Clinton's impeachment trial.[2] Executives from the American Medical Association stated that the article had nothing to do with medicine and it jeopardized the high standard of the journal.[3]

Lundberg from February 1999 to January 2009, was the editor of Medscape.[4] He currently serves as an editor-at-large for the site.[5]
