“…5,6,8,22 In a survey of orthopaedic residency program directors, training residents in the critical evaluation of scientific articles was the most important goal of journal clubs in 67% of programs responding. 8 Instilling residents with the routine habit of reading scientific journals also was listed as important in 30% of programs, whereas 14% rated learning about current research in orthopaedics as a high priority. In a survey of 278 general surgery program directors (response rate 80%), more than 50% indicated that their journal club was important or very important to their training program, with learning literature review skills and providing training in research education as the top two purposes cited.…”

“…6 Although some think that journal clubs with high attendance and longevity often are characterized by mandatory attendance and availability of food, 1 others downplay the role of journal clubs as alternate means for residents to learn orthopaedics, develop camaraderie, and interact socially with faculty. 8 It also seems that transmission of clinical information may be a much more important goal of journal clubs in fellowship programs in orthopaedics than it is in residency programs. In a survey of 57 hand surgery fellowship directors, the primary purpose of journal clubs was to familiarize fellows and faculty with the current literature, 22 and almost all fellowship directors thought that the journal club was an important part of the fellowship training.…”

Although each of the studies cited compiled educational goals for journal clubs by surveying program directors or residents, none asked whether the goals had been formalized in writing in each program surveyed.…”

The first record of a journal club was that founded in 1875 by Sir William Osler at McGill University for the purchase and distribution of periodicals to which he could not afford to subscribe as an individual. Evidence-based medicine is becoming an accepted educational paradigm in medical education at various levels. An analysis of the literature related to journal clubs in residency programs in specialties other than orthopaedic surgery reveals that the three most common goals were to teach critical appraisal skills (67%), to have an impact on clinical practice (59%), and to keep up with the current literature (56%). The implementation of the structured article review checklist has been found to increase resident satisfaction and improves the perceived educational value of the journal club without increasing resident workload or decreasing attendance at the conference. Periodic evaluation of the conference and the institution of appropriate changes ensures that the journal club remains a valuable and successful part of the training program.

“…These findings are similar to the results of surveys of program directors of various surgical programs across Canada and the United States. 18,19 Similarly, a recent systematic review of journal clubs done by our group found that monthly scheduled meetings, mandatory attendance, use of a critical appraisal training checklist and inclusion of methodological/ epidemiological articles were common features of journal clubs in surgical specialties. 20 The results of the present study show that journal clubs are valued highly by residents and that most (70%) use EBRS as part of their journal clubs either exclusively or in addition to other articles.…”

Background: Evidence-Based Reviews in Surgery (EBRS) is a program developed to teach critical appraisal skills to general surgeons and residents. The purpose of this study was to assess the use of EBRS by general surgery residents across Canada and to assess residents' opinions regarding EBRS and journal clubs. Methods:We surveyed postgraduate year 2-5 residents from 15 general surgery programs. Data are presented as percentages and means.Results: A total of 231 residents (58%, mean 56% per program, range 0%-100%) responded: 172 (75%) residents indicated that they know about EBRS and that it is used in their programs. More than 75% of residents who use EBRS agreed or strongly agreed that the EBRS clinical and methodological articles and reviews are relevant. Only 55 residents (24%) indicated that they used EBRS online. Most residents (198 [86%]) attend journal clubs. The most common format is a mandatory meeting held at a special time every month with faculty members with epidemiological and clinical expertise. Residents stated that EBRS articles were used exclusively (13%) or in conjunction with other articles (57%) in their journal clubs. Most respond ents (176 of 193 [91%]) stated that journal clubs are very or somewhat valuable to their education.

The way of learning and upgrading knowledge, skills has been changed. Nowadays, efforts have been shifted from single handed learning process to group learning process with an advantage that one can critically analyze, discuss, and upgrade with the knowledge and advancements in their fields. "Journal Club" word itself explains that a group of people gather regularly to discuss, and critically evaluate the recent advancements and researches in medical and dental education. Periodic evaluation of the conference and the institution of appropriate changes ensure that the journal club remains a valuable and successful part of the training program. Goal of almost all journal clubs in training programs is to keep residents up to date on the literature; the importance of this goal varies between programs. A clinician describes a clinical problem at the end of one journal club meeting. At the next journal club, some systematic reviews are presented on that subject and the evidence is evaluated.
