DESCRIPTION
Each week, a fellow selects an article from a relevant journal to discuss.  The expectation is to ask a consultant to review the article choice and assist in the discussion of the article.  One week prior to the conference, the journal article is electronically distributed to division members.  

A short background review of pertinent information is presented during the conference.  Following this, the chosen article as well as its strengths and weaknesses is analyzed using evidence based medicine principles.  This contributes to the discussion and understanding of the selected manuscript.

On select dates, a fellow will be requested to share a Point-of-Care-Ultrasound Mini-Case for 5 minutes at the beginning to our Journal Club Conference.

Live-Streamed; Weekly on Fridays from 7:30-8:30 a.m.
