How Journal Club Works

Before the Meeting

At any time, the Journal Club Members may “nominate” an interesting wound, ostomy or continence-related journal article they have come across to add to the library of Journal Club articles.

The topic of the journal article rotates monthly between a wound topic, ostomy topic, and continence topic to ensure the full tri-specialty is covered. You can view the upcoming topics above.

​

All Journal Club members will be provided a calendar invite and link to join the virtual meeting on Zoom prior to the meeting. You can also RSVP for the meeting & receive the Zoom link by clicking the "RSVP" button for one of the upcoming meetings above.

​

During the meeting

Most Journal Club meetings will have around 10-12 members in a Zoom room to facilitate good discussion*. 

​

The meeting runs for 1 hour, and is outlined as follows:

• Welcome and Introduction (5 min)

• Journal Club Leader summarizes the article & introduces the first question (5 min)

• Group Discussion (45 min)

• Wrap up/summary of discussion points (5 min)

​

*In the event of a larger meeting, in order to make sure everyone has the opportunity to participate equally, the meeting may be separated into two "breakout rooms" during the Group Discussion period if necessary. In this case, the full group would return to the main room during the wrap up/summary period to share their breakout group's discussion points.
