Volunteer to run a session

Each session is run by a different facilitator. This brief summary outlines what journal club is about, what to consider when selecting a paper and provides a checklist for doing a critical review of the paper.

Before the journal club, each presenter is expected to:

• prepare a brief summary of the selected paper which highlights its interesting features and questions that the presenter would like participants to consider (this goes out 10-14 days before journal club)
• be able to describe and discuss the paper and review it in accordance with the critical review checklist
• facilitate discussion about how the research relates to our work in SRH.

If you’d like to run a session email Rachel Tham.

We look forward to school wide contributions to journal club to enrich our professional pursuits and get to know each others’ work.
