Abstract

After identifying a lack of engagement and enthusiasm in traditional department journal club activities we adapted and instituted a competitive, team-based approach encouraging evidence-based medicine. Centered around a clinical question posed by a faculty member, this requires each resident-team to perform a literature search, select the most relevant article, and present that article to best support the clinical question.

The team captain was responsible for the methods and quality of the presentation and which team member would present. Points were awarded by the faculty host who determined which article best answered the clinical question, and which team gave the best presentation. At the end of the academic year, the team with the highest score was rewarded with a celebratory dinner.

The faculty and residents universally reported this journal club structure a positive change, both meeting and exceeding published recommendations for effective journal club implementation and engagement of the modern learner.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Surgical Education (JSE) is dedicated to advancing the field of surgical education through original research. The journal publishes research articles in all surgical disciplines on topics relative to the education of surgical students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing surgeons. Our readers look to JSE for timely, innovative research findings from the international surgical education community. As the official journal of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS), JSE publishes the proceedings of the annual APDS meeting held during Surgery Education Week.
