Anyone interested in online EMS journal club?

[viostorm]

Would anyone be interested in an "online" EMS journal club?

Someone could post an article every couple of weeks and then discuss it?

I think a lot of people here have good things to say?

Yes? No?

1) How would we post article? Would there be copyright problems? The abstracts are available at pubmed, but that really doesn't tell you all the details of the article. I doubt it could be posted on SDN, perhaps we could email it to a group of people without too much trouble if someone had the pdf. Suggestions?

Here is the guidelines I would suggest:

* Peer reviewed journals
* EMS related only
* Preferentially recent articles only ...

It may be too much trouble ... the place I am does not have an EM program so it is hard for me to stay up to date

Well, personally I would rather read articles that approach problems from scientific perspective ... but honestly I don't care. I don't find JEMS very stimulating intellectually ...

I was more thinking Annals of Emergency Medicine ... et cetera

Things written for physicians, medical directors, advanced prehospital care providers, that comment on the state of the practice.

It's a magazine. It's not a journal.

It means that it is reviewed by a professional (normally an MD in the case of medical journals, PhD's in other areas) for quality and content before publication

No, you cannot post the article here. You can only post a link to the article. You should be able to post the abstract though (I think).
