Purpose:
EBM and Journal Club are combined for 2020-2021. These sessions are meant to develop residents' application of evidence-based medicine and critical appraisal skills. Residents will learn to apply evidence-based practice skills to patient care, close reading in journal clubs or for discussions with peers, and board questions. It is also an opportunity to further the ability to search for high-quality or evidence-based articles relating to a patient case or research project. These sessions will focus on enhancing understanding of research design, biomedical statistics, and clinical reasoning.
If you have questions about the curriculum, please contact your clinical librarian, Emily Shohfi.
Throughout the year, EBM and journal club will be led by teaching residents. Faculty will facilitate. Our learning objectives are the following
Residents will be assessed with a short pre- and post- class quizzes.
There is no required format for presentation; only that it be done well. Examples of successful formats in the past include:
Articles selected for journal club should be pre-highlighted or commented for peers to read, and should be sent out to the cohort no later than Wednesday before the Friday morning session.
Article types & learning objectives by block are listed below. Blocks 1, 9, and 10 may not have a journal club but may instead be overviews by faculty.
