چکیده

INTRODUCTION A journal club (JC) is defined as a group of individuals who meet regularly to critically discuss the applicability of current peerreviewed articles published in medical journals. The memoirs of Sir James Paget, a surgeon at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, UK (1835–54), contain the earliest mention of a JC. Sir Paget described ‘a kind of club in a small room over a baker’s shop near the hospital gate where we could sit and read journals and play cards’. There is evidence of the existence of the first formal JC in 1875, when William Osler of McGill University, Montréal, Canada found a way of making expensive periodicals affordable by purchasing expensive journals with fellow students at a group rate.
