Subspecialty-focused journal club session will be held six times annually. Please
see calendar for more details.
Time: Usually 5:30 or 6:00 pm
Location: Varies, select individual meeting for details
The individual articles are presented by the residents and then the merits of the article and the presentation are reviewed by a sponsoring faculty member. The articles will often be available for download just before the meeting. Alternatively, you may contact Audrey Forbes at 706-721-1160 or via email if you have questions or need the articles in an alternate manner. At this time we do not offer CME credit for these sessions.
