Journal-Clubbing Our Way Through Internal Medicine
Do you also find it hard to follow the medical literature?
Newsletters with tables of contents are hard to get through after having written all your notes and maybe having done a chart dissection.
Welcome to IM Journal Club!
Our mission: to guide you through some of the most interesting internal medicine studies published in the last few weeks and months that you WOULD have liked to or SHOULD have heard about
Target groups: physicians and other clinicians in general internal or family medicine – hospital medicine and primary care – or in an internal medicine subspecialty; biostatisticians, epidemiologists, or data scientists; journal club enthusiasts!
Hidden agenda: to shed some lights on the studies’ methods AND on the context (what was known before, how do the new results change things – so what does this all mean?). We will give you episodes with primers on particularly difficult methods.
We will come out with a new episode every one to two weeks - we'll upload early on Fridays - so you can listen on your commute or on the weekend.
Please subscribe in your favorite podcast app or to our YouTube channel .
Please let us know what we can do better, or what new study we could cover: You can leave a review in your podcasting app, a comment on YouTube, or drop us a line at hello@imjournalclub.com
We are also on social; our email newsletter will be on Twitter: https://twitter.com/IMJournalClub

Today we are back with another bonus episode: To speak with Simon Sinek, we want to start with the WHY.
Why should we do journal clubs?
Why might be interesting, maybe even necessary?
Why could it even be fun?
Some of this episode - the parts about Newton, Imatinib, "medical reversal", the exponential growth of the medical literature, and how many original articles are publishes each month in just four general medicine journals - is based on a talk that was given by Ben at Mass General Hospital, Boston MA on March 6, 2019 (HMU Pulse Foundational series).
