Journal Club

Did you know one of the first journal clubs in the United States was started at The Johns Hopkins Hospital (Aronson, 2017)? Keeping up with our institution's passion for knowledge, the Center for Nursing Inquiry hosts a quarterly journal club to discuss scientific articles, either in the news or recently published. Journal Club is a great way to keep up to date with the current literature, improve your appraisal skills, and learn how to translate knowledge to guide clinical practice. It is also an opportunity to network with inquiry experts and other Johns Hopkins nurses.  Join us virtually for a lively conversation. We are excited to hear your thoughts!
