“…Since its inception, journal club has been a cornerstone to the life-long process of medical education, serving as a means for physicians to learn about medical developments, critically evaluate the soundness of the research, assess clinical applicability, and promote discussion amongst colleagues ( 25 , 26 , 9 ). The key goal of journal club is to promote critical literature appraisal and an evidence-based practice of medicine ( 27 , 28 , 29 ).…”

“…The majority of medical schools within the United States focus on lecture-based, case-based, or problem-based learning for pre-clinical years. Often, schools do not do a very good job of training students to critically appraise a paper, which makes them ill-prepared for residency [ 2 ]. Although the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced many institutions to do some new and innovative methods for journal clubs, such as the use of Twitter, there still is a dearth of literature showing how journal clubs can benefit students in the preclinical years [ 3 , 4 ].…”

The concept of a journal club has been around for decades and is a useful tool to help teach residents about evidence-based medicine. Although some students may be exposed to the concept during their third or fourth year of medical school, many do not have exposure to this until their residency. This innovation report describes a program to help introduce first and second-year medical students to a team-based approach to journal clubs so that they can apply principles of evidence-based practice early on in their medical school training.In the Fall of 2020, a faculty and student effort led by members of the internal medicine and family medicine interest groups met to form a team-based program approach to the journal club focusing on first and secondyear students. Teams of students were formed, and they were allowed to pick an article to review. They presented their findings to a group of students and faculty members via online meetings (due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restrictions). This program has been introduced and done for two academic years. During that time, over 50 students participated in the program along with six faculty members. Countless students and faculty have been an audience to the presentations that have been done. The program is entering its third year of providing an engaging avenue for students to gain experience in analyzing articles and making presentations. The journal club program has and continues to be praised by faculty and students for its unique approach and style to a decade-old tradition.We recommend that medical schools and other health-science programs across the country consider introducing a program like this to help stimulate critical discussions in an era of increasingly published medical literature. It is critical that students be given a chance to apply evidence-based practices early on in their medical education careers.

“…Journal club allow students to remain current with the literature while also teaching them the methods to evaluate it critically (9,10). It also promotes a positive attitude of students towards research at undergraduate level by enhancing their learning and cognitive thinking (11).…”

Background: Rapid changes in medical education have led to the inclusion of different teaching strategies in the curriculum. Journal clubs and flipped classrooms are innovative techniques that are used worldwide. We have combined these techniques to assess their impact on critical thinking and active learning among dental students using SSACT questionnaire. This is a rigorous step for inculcating evidence-based medicine skills in early years of medical education. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at Dental College HITEC-IMS using convenience sampling. The SSACT questionnaire was validated through a pilot study. Students prepared and delivered PowerPoint presentations on the assigned topic. Instructors evaluated the presentations using judgment criteria from Texas Undergraduate Studies. Results: This study included 46 students (86% female, 14% male) with a mean age of 19 years. The reliability and internal consistency of the tool, as measured by Cronbach's alpha, was found to be 0.8. Paired sample t-test showed a mean value of 0.68 ± 0.4. The p value was highly significant (0.00). A significant majority (n = 41, 89%) showed a positive attitude towards setting their own learning objectives. An increase in the utilization of multiple learning strategies for independent learning, and reflecting on the learning process was seen at 93% (n = 43) and 98% (n = 45) respectively. Students reported enhancement in team-based performance (n = 44, 78%), demonstrated improvements in communication of ideas, application of previous knowledge from independent study, and linking of previous and new knowledge 93% (n = 43). The implementation of scenario-based questions has been found to significantly increase critical thinking skills among a majority of students (n = 40, 87%). Conclusion: Our results show that implementation of journal clubs and flip classrooms in a combined fashion has led to overall enhancement of critical thinking and active learning and SSACT questionnaire is a valid tool for self-assessment of students in our population.
