Objective:
The advantages and acceptance of resident-led subspecialty journal clubs are understudied. The study aimed to implement a resident-led virtual subspecialty journal club in a pediatric residency program to assess its perceived benefits and acceptability.
Materials And Methods:
This prospective pilot study, conducted from January 2023 to June 2024, involved all pediatric residents at the institution State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate, Health Sciences University, Brooklyn, New York. It consisted of 2 phases: implementation of a resident-led, attending-supervised virtual journal club and a subsequent resident survey. The biweekly journal club reviewed a range of articles-including basic science, clinical trials, and systematic reviews-focused on neonatology and infant health. After 20 sessions, an anonymous online survey was distributed to residents across all postgraduate years to assess perceived educational benefits.
Results:
Out of 84 residents, 73 responded to the survey, and 83.5% (61/73) attended at least 1 session. More than 60% of residents indicated that the journal club facilitated staying updated on literature and improving medical knowledge. Over half of the residents noted that the journal club aided in understanding methodology, statistics, and bolstered confidence in reviewing literature.
Conclusion:
The resident-led journal club garnered positive feedback, with most residents reporting multiple perceived benefits.
