Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of a journal club for teaching critical appraisal skills to residents in psychiatry and their transfer of those skills to clinical scenarios. Twelve residents participated in a 12-week journal club, and 12 residents were matched control subjects. Following the journal club, there remained no difference in performance between the two groups, although two-thirds of the journal club residents did show an improvement or no change, compared with one-third of the control residents. Furthermore, there was a trend for the journal club residents to require less time to review an article. This format of a journal club may not be an effective method for teaching critical appraisal skills to residents in psychiatry.If you're having problem loading pages
