The University of Toronto Division of Geriatric Medicine organizes a monthly Geriatric Medicine Journal Club where residents and faculty have the opportunity to critically appraise recent geriatric medicine literature. Two Geriatric Medicine residents review and present a critical appraisal of an original research article. There is one long presentation of 45 minutes and one short presentation of 15 minutes. The meetings take place on the fourth Friday of each month from 08:00 to 09:00. The Journal Club is broadcast by video-conference via the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) to satellite sites around the province of Ontario including:
Baycrest Hospital (Toronto)
Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto)
North York General Hospital (Toronto)
Orillia Soldier’s Memorial Hospital (Orillia)
St. Joseph’s Health Centre (Toronto)
St. Mary’s General Hospital (Kitchener-Waterloo)
Grandriver Hospital (Kitchener-Waterloo)
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (Toronto)
St. Michael's Hospital (Toronto)
Trillium Hospital (Mississauga)
It is the hope that the #GeriMedJC hashtag will complement the live journal club discussion but also allow for participation internationally for a much more enriched analysis of the literature.
