AbstractThe authors outline the steps involved in setting up, maintaining, and evaluating an evidence-based imaging journal club, using their collective experience at the University of Michigan. The article opens with a background to journal clubs in general and describes their changing purpose or role in recent decades. This should act as a useful framework or "how-to" guide to get things started. Different journal club formats are discussed, and the pros and cons of each are outlined. Suggestions for obtaining feedback from residents and for performing evaluation are also provided. In addition, useful information, references and links to useful resources are also given throughout the article. Finally, the authors share the positive (and negative) experiences of setting up, maintaining, and evaluating the University of Michigan's journal club, now in its third year. The authors welcome feedback from readers who have been involved in evidence-based imaging journal clubs to share their experiences, good and bad.Copyright 2010. Published by Elsevier Inc.
