Starting a journal club can be a rewarding endeavor. Here are the steps to get started:
Form a Group: Gather interested colleagues who are willing to participate. Diversity in the group can bring different perspectives to the discussion. Choose a Facilitator: Select a facilitator to guide the discussions and keep the meetings organized. Select Articles: Choose relevant and recent research articles that align with the clinical interests of the group. Set a Schedule: Determine how often the journal club will meet (e.g., monthly, bi-monthly) and set dates in advance. Prepare Discussion Questions: Develop a set of questions to guide the discussion and ensure a thorough critique of the article.
