The RHEDI Journal Club offers templates for engaging faculty, residents, and medical students in an evidence-based discussion about important research in contraception, abortion, and miscarriage care, with particular attention to teaching and clinical practice.
We present topics that shape the provision of reproductive health services within primary care settings as well as explore new research that may affect future practice.
Each topic includes a summary of the featured article, including results, relevant takeaways, discussion questions, and related research. Journal Club leaders can also use this template to engage participants and prompt discussion.
