Abstract

Departmental journal clubs have experienced varied degrees of success and longevity. Although a high degree of enthusiasm is difficult to maintain, clear objectives are key factors that encourage active participation. In this report we present a journal club format that has demonstrated popularity and 4 years of longevity. On the basis of this experience, we believe a journal club forum offers medical students and residents the optimal opportunity to learn an approach to critical reading of medical reports. In addition, they gain understanding of experimental design and research protocols and ultimately acquire knowledge of the current medical literature.
