Talk:Journal club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this practice unique to medicine? It seems like it could be useful to people in any sort of technical field which has journals. Izzycat 21:24, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure that other fields to get together and talk about literature. However, what is (i believe) unique - is that journal clubs are a fundamental part of recognized medical educaiton, and a requirment in residency training (at least in the US)

Increasingly popular as part of graduate education in other technical fields

Mashdot page on wikipedia was deleted in the past without my knowledge after a brief discussion. The discussion centered on mashdot not being a new idea. I disagree that the concept of using distributed moderation on the web for medical journal club is not new. But regardless, it has potential to be a useful source of discussion and intellectual stimulation, and should not be deleted for personal or political reasons. There are many people involved with this project and a lot of energy is going into it. Thanks Mashdot discussion on role of journal club in medical education
