August 1st journal club

The next Leadership Preventive Medicine Residency Program JOURNAL CLUB is scheduled Friday, August 1, from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m.

Manish Mishra selected the attached article and asks that you think of this article's message in relation to the "peer reviewed journals" in which our papers appear, and the medical writing course presented in our Friday didactics sessions. Manish has invited Tom Mead (medical library background), David Stevens (who conducts our medical writing course), and Frank Davidoff (co-author of this article) to join the conversation, if available.
