RRM Journal Club
An article will be selected and posted in the weeks prior to the webinar date.
Journal Club sessions provide a critical appraisal of published research relevant to the field of Restorative Reproductive Medicine. These sessions are designed to increase providers’ competence to critically evaluate research by increasing their knowledge of the scientific method, research design, and common biases. Improvements in knowledge and competence will translate into improvements in clinician performance as they use their understanding of research to provide better care and communication to their patients and apply the results from research to clinical practice.
Approved for 1.0 Live, virtual CME prescribed credit*. For more information about how this can be reported and submitted to other organizations please see the AAFP website here.
Webinars are free for all IIRRM members.
