University of Florida cardiologist David S. Sheps, M.D., M.S.P.H., has been named editor-in-chief of the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. Sheps, a professor of medicine at UF’s College of Medicine and associate director of the division of cardiovascular medicine, is the behavioral medicine journal’s seventh editor.

Psychosomatic Medicine was founded in 1939 and is published six times a year by the American Psychosomatic Society, which is dedicated to the integration of biological, psychological and social factors in medicine. The international, interdisciplinary journal features papers describing experimental and clinical investigation in behavioral biology, psychiatry, psychology, physiology, anthropology and clinical medicine.

Sheps plans to expand the journal’s scope through greater participation by internists.
