About the IMSIG Journal Club
The IMSIG Journal Club was instituted as a forum for students to learn from one another, specifically:
- to learn how to critically appraise clinical research articles
- to learn how to write-up and present original case studies with educational merit
- to review the latest evidence-base and expert opinion in clinical medicine
These are informal student-led gatherings, and of course free food is provided! For more information, or if you have an article or an interesting case study you would like to present, please e-mail Sarah Alexander.
