Assessment of Student Perceptions on a Series of Live Internet-Based Student Journal Clubs Presented Synchronously to Multiple Distance Locations, a Pilot Study
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Historically, journal clubs have been used by the medical community to enhance an individual’s critical literature evaluation skills as well as staying abreast of current medical literature with the assessment of the potential impact on clinical practice. The first journal club is speculated to have occurred at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London somewhere between 1835 and 1854 [1]. Linzer simply defines a journal club as “a group of individuals who meet regularly to discuss critically the clinical applicability of articles in the current medical journals.”1 For over a century and a half, the medical community has been incorporating journal clubs into the work place in addition to school curriculums. Journal clubs have become widely used in many health professional curriculums including nursing, medical, and pharmacy education [2].
