Journal Clubs
In journal clubs, students develop critical evaluation and discussion skills as they become familiar with public health and epidemiologic literature.
- CAPH Epidemiology of Aging Journal Club
Designed as practical professional skill development for Epidemiology of Aging trainees and students, the Center for Aging and Population Health (CAPH) Epidemiology of Aging Workshop Series alternates a seminar format with an article review/professional skills sessions on a biweekly basis. All interested in joining the discussions are welcome to attend.
This workshop is offered every Friday from 12:00pm – 12:50pm during the fall term and 1:00pm-1:50pm during the spring term, in SPH 3121C. If you would like to attend remotely, please contact Michelle Utz-Kiley (kileym@edc.pitt.edu) to obtain the Zoom meeting information.
- 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.
To join the mailing list or for additional information, please contact the facilitator, Dr. Rachel Miller (MillerR@edc.pitt.edu).
