2022-2023 RESP Journal Club
Welcome to the joint RESP JOURNAL CLUB with RECRU and Meakins members. This journal club is open to all clinical and research faculty, trainees, fellows, and residents. The goal of this journal club is to critically evaluate a research article (or topic) from both clinical and fundamental science perspectives. Publications will be jointly chosen by RECRU and Meakins faculty members, who will facilitate discussion of the article. The publications will cover the various research themes of the RESP program, with a focus on translational research. Presentations will be delivered by faculty and/or trainees/fellows and all discussions will be moderated. Articles will be distributed 1 week in advance of the Journal Club date.
Frequency: Monthly on Fridays at 12 noon via ZOOM
