Journal Clubs

The program has developed a three-year Journal Club Classics curriculum covering 48 of the landmark trials that every internist should know. Monthly presentations are resident run, faculty-supervised sessions guided by a set of faculty teaching points. At the end of the residency, an electronic compendium of the articles and teaching points is provided to graduates. During the OBMT rotation, residents attend a daily morning journal club mentored by key clinical faculty with a focus on effectively formulating and answering clinical questions. In this venue, critical appraisal skills are taught and emphasized. Taken together, Journal Club Classics forms a core library of key literature while OBMT gives residents the skills to efficiently seek out specific medical literature to apply to patient care.
