Journal clubs have probably been around as long as there have been journals – and certainly since they started to boom in the 1800s. As well as a way to keep up with the literature, journal clubs play a key role in medical education. More about their history here: http://blogs.plos.org/absolutely-maybe/sciences-water-coolers-turning-up-the-volume-on-journal-clubs/
Recently, PubMed Commons introduced journal club membership, with the goal of capturing the intellectual effort of journal clubs for a wider audience. You can read about it here: http://pubmedcommonsblog.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2014/12/17/introducing-pubmed-commons-journal-clubs/ and see the first journal club members here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedcommons/journal-clubs/about/
Here are some questions we may address on Thursday, March 12:
• Are you involved in journal clubs – and how would you like to be?
• What works well?
• How do you avoid – or get around – problems?
• Are records kept, and what use do people make of them?
• How does the journal club fit in with CME at your place?
• What do you think of the opportunity to link your journal club up with PubMed Commons? Would you like to get involved?
