Role of journal club in Canadian ophthalmology residency training: a national survey of program directors.
To conduct a national survey of journal club curricula in Canadian ophthalmology residency programs. ⋯ Canadian ophthalmology program directors expressed high levels of satisfaction that journal club was effective in meeting its stated objectives. This indicates that the teaching model promoted resident critical appraisal skills; however, objective evaluation methods to assess resident competence in evidence-based medicine were not described by any respondents. As RCSPC ophthalmology programs transition to competency-based medical education, program directors may consider modifying journal club curriculum, broadening its utility toward a means of outcome assessment.
