Dear Colleagues, 

We invite the PSOM community to join the COVID-19 Population Sciences Journal Club sessions held every Wednesday at 9 AM EST via BlueJeans (PennKey log-in required).

Clinical studies on coronavirus are coming at a furious pace and garnering media attention, but not being critically reviewed. The Journal Club, created by the DBEI and the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB), applies rigorous scientific methods to evaluate clinical research studies that can inform best practices, policies, and further studies. We critically review relevant literature, identify new questions, and explore opportunities to provide answers. The Journal Club is run by two PhD students: Amy Van Pelt and Jessica Meeker and each session has an assigned student presenter and faculty discussant

.

Please go to the DBEI Response to Covid-19 webpage for more information on each week’s session and past sessions. (PennKey log-in required for webpage access).

Call-in instructions will stay the same for each session and are outlined below.  Please contact Sue White with any questions.  CME credit will be provided for eligible attendees.

We hope you will join us! 

Stephen Kimmel, MD, MSCE

Harold Feldman, MD, MSCE
