UCSF Health Clinical Inquiry Council in partnership with the Research & Scholarship team hosts a virtual Nursing Journal Club to critically evaluate peer-reviewed evidence-based articles. The aims of the Nursing Journal Club are to promote discussion of evidence that may impact nursing practice and to increase skills for critically appraising the evidence.

The Nursing Journal Club occurs every other month virtually on Zoom and lasts for an hour. All UCSF nurses are welcome to join the meeting, along with UCSF School of Nursing faculty, students, and affiliates. 

UCSF Health employees can register for the Journal Club directly on Nursing Connect. Email [email protected] for Nursing Connect account support.
