چکیده
On the cover You know you have made it as a rock band or artist if you appear “on the cover of the Rolling Stone.” Well, now you know you have arrived as a family physician if you grace the cover of Canadian Family Physician. This was a brilliant idea. It gives us a chance to “meet” and learn about our family physician colleagues across Canada when we would not otherwise have a chance to do so. This adds to an already excellent medical journal. Please keep up this new tradition, and we all thank you for your hard work in producing Canadian Family Physician. Rock on! —Guy Robert Blais MD CCFP FCFP Edmonton, Alta
