To identify, evaluate and refine a journal club (JC) format that increases faculty and resident engagement. An initial needs assessment followed by a trial of three JC formats: traditional single presenter, debate style and facilitated small group discussion was piloted over 6 months. Anonymous feedback was collected. The facilitated small group format was chosen. Narrative and quantitative feedback were collected from residents and faculty at 6-month intervals for the next 24 months. Changes to the format were made using feedback. Fourteen residents (n=20, 70%) and 10 faculty (n=20, 50%) completed baseline surveys. We initially observed low resident (8/14, 57%) interest in JCs. Additionally, 9/14 (64%) of residents and 1/15 (7%) of faculty reported low confidence presenting articles publicly. After implementation of the new JC format, resident reported enjoyment, on a scale of 1–5, improved from 3.6 to 4.4 (p<0.01). We observed improvement in resident confidence in the ability to critique a paper (2.7 to 4.1, p<0.01) and in confidence speaking in front of both peers (3.8 to 4.6, p<0.01) and faculty (3.0 to 3.8, p=0.04). Faculty confidence with literature critique decreased (from 4.2 to 3.8), but enjoyment remained stable (4.3 to 4.2). A facilitated small group JC format was preferred in our programme. We observed measurable improvements in both resident interest and confidence, as well as sustained faculty interest in JCs. We fostered an environment of inquiry and identified areas of continued professional development.

“…Lately online discussions are becoming the main stay of journal clubs [13,14]. Usually journal clubs begin on regular basis and slowly irregularity sets in, because of lack of time, goals, interest, participation, insufficient preparation etc…Irregularity is renewed when new set of postgraduates join [15,5]. Yet, they continue to be a part of PG teaching curriculum because of their educational diversity, adaptability and topic pertinence [16].…”

“…Although most training programmes sponsor EBM journal clubs, they are, often, not successful in achieving their educational goals, or maintaining resident interest. Common reasons for ineffectiveness in EBM journal club management appear to be lack of goals or interest, inadequate preparation, lack of critical appraisal skills and absence of a trained journal leader to lead discussion [10,11].…”
