| | Journal Club / Institute for Education and Leadership |
 | | The goal of the Journal Club is continued learning, sharing of ideas about caregiving, and the evaluation of practices that lead to making better decisions for patient care. |
 | | Each month, the Journal Club selects, reviews, presents and comments on original research and review articles from current biomedical literature that discuss the cause, course, diagnosis, clinical prediction, prevention, treatment or economics of medical disorders managed by palliative and hospice physicians and related sub-specialists. |
 | | The Club meets on the third Thursday of each month, at which time a Capital Hospice Fellow provides a structured presentation of the selected literature, which is then commented on by clinicians with a high degree of expertise in the topic of the article and who have declared no conflict of interest. |
