Journal Club is an adjunct to the Sports Medicine Club that features student presentations of recent periodicals, with the supervision and direction of physicians and clinicians. In Journal Club you will have the opportunity to become up to date on the most recent sports medicine articles. The research coordinator is tasked with finding the latest relevant sports medicine articles to be presented to club members. In addition, you will hear actual clinical correlation from our very own faculty and their real experiences. You will be able to pose questions to them in a more open setting, where real learning can take place. These meetings will typically last 20-30 minutes.
