Welcome - and thanks for joining. This is a clinician-focused journal club designed to help healthcare professionals stay current with new medical literature without drowning in papers or stats. The goal here is simple: Help you identify what's truly relevant in a paper, and give the the tools to read and interpret medical literature with confidence. What this community is - A weekly breakdown of clinically relevant medical literature - Clear explanations of study design, statistics, and real-world applicability - Guidance on how to approach papers yourself, so you can build independent skills for evaluating evidence - Active discussion where questions and different perspectives are encouraged - Focused on practice-changing (or practice-clarifying) studies What this community is NOT - Not medical advice - Not specialty-specific board prep or resource - Not a paper dump or academic exercise Focus should be on what actually matters for clinical decision-making. How to participate - Read one paper per week in the "Weekly Journal Club" channel - Follow the structured breakdown: why it matters, study design, results, statistical considerations, and clinical implications - Engage in discussion in the "Open Discussion" channel Time commitment: ~10-20 minutes/week to read +/- optional participation About this Pilot - This is a free pilot cohort while we refine the format and teaching approach. After the pilot, the community will transition to a paid membership, and early members will receive founding member pricing as a thank you for helping shape the group.

I'm excited to help try to cut through the noise, read papers more effectively, and make better, evidence-informed decisions in practice. -Jerry
