The Twitter version of the Geriatric Medicine Journal Club facilitates continuing medical education (CME) and promotes international discussion of recent literature in Geriatric Medicine. #GeriMedJC will occur monthly concurrent with the live journal club that takes place at the Division of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Toronto. To follow the discussion please use #GeriMedJC and include this in all your tweets.
