ISP Journal Club
First year ISP students participate in a weekly journal club that covers topics under contemporaneous study in their first year courses. The Journal Club aims to train students in the critical reading of the scientific literature and to provide opportunities for students to hone their presentation skills.
CMDB Journal Club
Second-, third-, and fourth year CMDB students participate in a journal club facilitated by faculty members in the Program. There are two Journal Club sections, typically with 10 or fewer students in each section.
Each week one student works with the faculty facilitator to select an article of interest to present. During discussion of the paper, students are encouraged to critically evaluate the hypotheses, methods and conclusions of the article.
The course provides training in the essential skill of critical reading of the scientific literature, and provides students with the opportunity to improve their presentation skills in a small and familiar environment.
