What's the evidence that journal clubs change / improve clinical practice?

Just a thought.

Best wishes

You're always welcome to use my weekly journal blog to stimulate discussion (and if possible feed back to me...):

Subject: Jazzing up journal club- what do you do?

Years ago when I attended the McMaster EBM course we had a session on Jazzing up Journal Club- ways to make it more interesting. Over the years here at UAB we have done a variety of things to make it more interesting.

Currently we use Edmodo.com and post readings of background information, give homework questions to have a threaded discussion where the residents teach each other while answering questions. Our JC is also based around a case that we solve. We have faculty "debates" during it that the residents enjoy.

In the past we have tried having it at faculty members' houses, moving it to various places around campus,etc. We have set it up where one resident team debates another team using the article. We always have food.

What does your institution do that makes journal club a little more interesting?
