Journal Club
Continuing on from the popular Journal Club meeting held during the 2020 Annual Scientific Meeting, ANZSOM will be running a program of Journal Club sessions over the next 12 months.
Organised by Dr Thea Leman in conjunction with other AFOEM trainees and involving mediated discussion groups, this is a great opportunity to build your critical appraisal skills while exploring the latest evidence in workplace health.
Each event is semi-structured to optimise the learning experience so please register your interest to participate.
The sessions are open exclusively to ANZSOM and AFOEM members and are not recorded.
PPT slides from previous meetings can be viewed on the members only online learning page
