Journal clubs are a common educational experience for medical physics residents as a forum to discuss current research within the field. While journal clubs are valued by educational programs and accrediting bodies, there are a wide variety of ways in which these sessions are conducted. Unfortunately, there are currently few studies that have assessed the effectiveness of this educational method. This review defines journal club in the context of a medical physics residency and provides historical background for the meetings. Reasons why journal clubs are valued are presented, and several methods are described for conducting journal clubs. The format of journal clubs and scaffolding methods for guiding residents in gaining independence in critical reading skills are discussed. While the traditional journal club is a meeting, an alternative online virtual journal club is also described. Finally, a model of how a journal club can be applied in a medical physics residency is presented.
期刊俱乐部是医学物理住院医师常见的教育体验，是讨论该领域当前研究的一个论坛。虽然期刊俱乐部受到教育项目和认证机构的重视，但这些会议的开展方式多种多样。不幸的是，目前很少有研究评估这种教育方法的有效性。本综述在医学物理住院医师培训的背景下对期刊俱乐部进行了定义，并提供了这些会议的历史背景。阐述了重视期刊俱乐部的原因，并描述了几种开展期刊俱乐部的方法。讨论了期刊俱乐部的形式以及指导住院医师在批判性阅读技能方面实现独立的支架方法。虽然传统的期刊俱乐部是一种会议形式，但也介绍了一种替代性的在线虚拟期刊俱乐部。最后，展示了一个期刊俱乐部如何应用于医学物理住院医师培训的模型。
