CVD Epidemiology Journal Club
The Cardiovascular Epidemiology (CVD) Journal Club is a forum for scientific interaction between the cardiovascular epidemiology trainees, collaborating faculty and other students with interest in cardiovascular epidemiology. The main focus is the presentation of research being conducted by the students of the cardiovascular epidemiology training program which may take the form of practice for the overview, comprehensive, or defense milestones, preparation for conference presentations, and informal works-in-progress (WIP) presentations. In addition, we will review published articles related to cardiovascular epidemiology and methodology. This semester, the focus is on methods to use in cardiovascular epidemiology research.

Diabetes Journal Club
The purpose of the Diabetes Research Journal Club is to discuss current literature in the area of Diabetes, bringing us all up to date with current issues in the field. Each member will be asked to pick a date to briefly (5 minutes) present an article from the journal of their choice, which will be followed by group discussion. However, everyone is invited to brief the group on articles they may have found of interest at every meeting. The journal club also provides an opportunity for students, post-docs, and faculty to discuss their own diabetes-related research in an informal setting.
For additional information on the Diabetes Journal Club, please contact the facilitator, Dr. Rachel Miller (MillerR@edc.pitt.edu).
