The program coordinator will assign each intern a date for presentation of a
journal article between weeks 8 and 30 for only one presentation per class day.
Intern is responsible for selecting own article of choice. It is strongly
recommended that each intern choose a journal article within the topics listed
below that are within his/her concentration area:
Concentration area topics:
Pediatrics Concentration must choose topic in at least one of the
following patient categories: chronic disease, growth faltering,
micronutrient deficiencies, pediatric overweight and obesity, critically ill
neonates, or critically ill infants and children. S1.1, S1.2
Adult Acute Care Concentration must choose topic in either
neurosurgical intensive care or burn intensive care. S2.1, S2.2
Background:
The interns will all receive a class on how to effectively evaluate the literature
prior to having to complete their journal article presentation. Interns should
utilize the preceptors as resources for assistance as needed.
Time Management:
It is the responsibility of the intern to self-manage time needed to complete the
assignment.
Presentation:
The oral presentation of the topic will be done first on the class day assigned.
The oral presentation should not exceed 15 minutes long, with 10 minutes left
for questions. The presentation is informal and will be given to a group of
preceptors and lecturers and the Program Coordinator for grading and
feedback. It is suggested that interns utilize the internship outline for
presenting journal club articles.
Addresses CRD Competencies: 1.2, 1.4, 3.2, S1.1, S1.2, S2.1, S2.2
Grading:
Completion of the task demonstrates satisfactory achievement (= Pass). At
minimum three preceptors/lecturers and Program Coordinator will complete
feedback form. Feedback form is not a grading tool, but intended to provide
intern constructive feedback for future improvements.
