Agenda involves some pre-reading
We’ll be hosting an informal journal club, involving two May 2023 publications from the journal, BMC Digital Health. PDFs of both articles are open access & available at the below links:
We’re using this opportunity to learn about digital technologies & have started with articles that are open access & relevant to an allied health audience.
How to prepare
- As this is informal, give yourself about 15 – 30 mins to peruse each article.
- You’ll be prepared if you’ve read the background & discussion of each paper.
- FYI we won’t be looking at in depth study methods or touching on stats unless you want to.
- We’re planning questions around
- What was insightful or gave you an ‘ah ha’ moment
- Benefits of the tech
- Factors important for use & implementation of the tech
Come for the knowledge & spirit of learning. Stay for the insights and laughs.
We look forward to catching up with soon you.
Great to see everyone. Great discussion. Minutes below.
