George D. Lundberg (born March 21, 1933) is an American board-certified pathologist and writer. 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. 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. Lundberg from February 1999 to January 2009, was the editor of Medscape. He currently serves as an editor-at-large for the site.
