Ladies and Gentlemen,
In the interest of improving staff and resident attendance to our department's Journal Club, we've changed the date to the second Tuesday of each month. If it would encourage your attendance either I will or will not wear a tutu to the next meeting in honor of this change. Let me know where you stand on that because I'm going to need some lead time to order mine from the metabolic syndrome dance studio supply store.
1) Please let me know if you are interested in being a facilitator (either staff or resident). If so, please give the dates for which you'd be willing to facilitate.
2) Suggestions for topics or articles.
3) Requests for restaurants.
In any event, here are the upcoming dates.
Tuesday, September 8
Tuesday, October 13
Tuesday, November 10
Tuesday, December 8
Tuesday, January 12
Tuesday, February 9 (***THE BIG 2-2-2***)
Tuesday, March 9
Tuesday, April 13
Tuesday, May 11
Tuesday, June 8
Take care,
Mark
About Journal Club
Journal club is a monthly meeting the second Tuesday of every month. It intends to focus on the evidence that supports the care we provide. Usually we'll be reviewing a single journal article.
To prepare, we ask that you read the article. Some example worksheets such as at http://www.mclibrary.duke.edu/subject/ebm?tab=appraising&extra=worksheets or http://www.cebm.net/index.aspx?o=1913 may help guide your critical appraisal of the article.
Most of all it's supposed to be relevant and interesting.
And remember, the fourth step to overcoming Journal Club is to make a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
