FCER Journal Club
A Free FCER Service New FCER Journal Club Gives Clinicians the Opportunity to Work with Peers to Review and Critique Scientific Evidence How the Journal Club Works Current articles that are controversial or important pieces of new evidence will be reviewed by the club. The club will encourage clinicians to share thoughts about the research article and create a uniform template that lists the pros and cons of the chosen study. Club members pre-register and are sent a copy of the article to be discussed. On the day of the teleconference, the discussion leader briefs the participants by reviewing the abstract of the study, and then presents the critiques of the study, both pros and cons. "We want to show the participants a systematic way of reviewing a scientific article, and prove the point that simply looking at an abstract is a 'slippery slope,'" Robin Merrifield, FCER Director of Education, said. "The ultimate goal is to raise awareness about staying up-to-date with respect to the evidence as it emerges, and to help coach the clinician on how to critically evaluate a scientific paper."
