History
The journal was established as a result of a collaboration between Canadian departments of surgery, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and the Canadian Medical Association. In 1957, leading surgical groups asked the Canadian Medical Association to undertake the publishing of the journal. The founding editorial board consisted of the chairs of surgery at the 12 medical schools in Canada at the time. The president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada chaired the editorial board.[1] The first issue was published on 1 October 1957.
