The present report is the eighth in a series of sequential tutorials entitled "Tutorials in Clinical Research." The objective of the report is to provide the reader with information to create or refine a journal club. ⋯ There is a paucity of information within the otolaryngology literature regarding the journal club and the significant role it can play in physician education. The flexible nature of the journal club gives it the potential to address many educational needs. Its relevance has never been greater.
