This is Jane Lee and Maura Manion, 4th years at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. In this E-Journal Club, we want to highlight some of the new research being published in different fields of medicine. As evidence-based medicine plays a growing role in clinical practice, we hope that this newsletter will be a helpful resource for medical students and provide further exposure to primary literature. In case you are wondering…
- Who selects and writes up the articles? We, Jane and Maura, select and analyze the articles weekly. From time to time, we have other Case med students who contribute articles. Also, Case Med faculty periodically provide commentary as well. Please see below for the list of guest contributors to date.
- How do we choose the articles? Articles are selected from high-impact medical journals (JAMA, NEJM, Annals of Internal Medicine, The Lancet), journal review platforms (Journal Watch, Johns Hopkins Medicine Podcast), and news outlets (The New York Times, Science Daily). Articles are screened for relevance to medical students, innovativeness, and likelihood to impact clinical practice.
Please email Elias Jaffa or Rhett Butler with any questions, comments, or topics/articles you would like to see in this newsletter. Thanks for reading!
