Journal of the Association of Physicians of India is a monthly scientific journal started in 1952. The journal reaches over 22000 members of the Association of Physicians of India every month and benefits millions through the online version. Association of Physicians of India (API) was founded in the year 1944 at Madras. Till 1952, the association had no journal. In fact the presidential address delivered by Dr. Jivraj Mehta, the first president of the association was published in the Journal of Indian Medical Association. The first editor was Prof. S. S. Misra, from King George Medical College, Lucknow. The journal was then called “Medicine”. Prof. Misra did not have any money to run the journal. On his request Dr. J. C. Patel, then the Secretary of API, donated the whole amount that the association had i.e. ₹.1000/- ! The first editorial of Prof. S.S. Misra is reproduced below, both for its historical importance as well the philosophy and scope of the Journal as envisaged by him. The money however dried up soon, and for lack of financial support after 3 issues the publication was discontinued until 1955 when George Coehlo of erstwhile Bombay was appointed the next editor. Before this Dr. Coehlo had been successfully publishing “Medical Bulletin” since 1932. The Journal was now named “Journal of Association of Physicians of India”. Since then the Journal has not looked back with consistent improvement in publication schedule, quality and variety of contents and quality of printing.
