OBJECTIVES
Journal club is an educational intervention that can improve reading habits and research skills, the use of
medical literature in clinical practice for postgraduate physicians in training, and knowledge of clinical
epidemiology and biostatistics.
Learning Objectives:

Conduct structured critical appraisal of
research articles

Gain an understanding about statistical analyses
and interpretation of the results

Recognize and understand different research
study designs

Improve the presentation skill

Enhance the knowledge on how to practice
evidence based medicine

Distinguish strengths and limitations of
different study designs and statistical
analyses
Provide transparent expectations from the GME faculty on how to appraise the resident’s performances
