If you’ve been reading this site for awhile you know that I have been obsessed with trying to get a Journal Club started. I have racked my brain for ways to do this (considering FHO readers are spread so far and wide). I realized we could make use of social media as one possibility, and did a search to see if anyone else was using platforms like Twitter for just such an effort. Turns out a few intrepid souls have done exactly this, with excellent success. So I am pleased to announce the inaugural Forensic Healthcare Journal Club via Twitter, Tuesday February 12th from 3-4pm Eastern.
The article with which we will kick off the journal club is from the current issue of the Journal of Forensic Nursing: Caring for the Forensic Population: Recognizing the Educational Needs of Emergency Department Nurses and Physicians (link leads to PubMed abstract only). Please let me know if you have trouble accessing the article and I will be happy to review options with you.
In the coming days I will be rolling out how the journal club will work, including guidelines, suggested conversation points, Twitter pointers and logistics for being able to follow the conversation. I am hoping to also archive the conversation and provide the overview on a separate page on this site for those unable to join us live.
