Hello,
So I'm now in charge of all things Journal Club at Carolinas, and am looking for some good ideas to revamp our monthly meeting.
If any of you have been part of, or been to an outstanding JC at other institutions, I would be interested in how/what/who made it amazing.
I've already revamped our JC for this year, but I'm still looking to improve as our goal is to make it the best in the country.
Anyone with any ideas please post as there are several of us here that are academic attendings and I'm sure all would like to keep JC on the edge.
Current aspects of our Monthly JC include:
Dropbox for all articles (makes articles accessible to all faculty/residents/alumni)
Vignette and vignette question(s) that introduce a clinical question (and JC is to answer)
Incorporate one LLSA article from the last 3 years
Statistician at most (or at least access to one)
Running list and explanation of at least 2 statistical principles per JC
One yearly lecture on statistics based on the above list
Emailed summary 1 week after summarizing the article, discussion, and 2 statistical principles
Recommendation to change practice based on the data presented
Ideas that I'd like to incorporate:
Including alumni (different practice pattern in small ED's, faster pace, etc)
Electronic streaming (anyone with experience)
Multi-disciplinary JC (include OB, Trauma, etc)
Online resources or demonstrations of statistical principles
Basic text for statistics (for residents)
I'm sure there are more, but I'm just seeing if anyone else can weigh in on things they've experienced and liked.
Anyone with a GOOD JC out there?
