STATEMENT OF NEED
As the knowledge base within the neurosciences expands exponentially, it becomes a challenge to keep pace and to know where to focus precious time in search of the most clinically relevant literature.

neuroscienceCME Journal Club was designed for clinicians who have made this commitment to staying current. Are you seeking a trusted resource for identifying and distilling the most critical information from the literature? Each month, the neuroscienceCME Journal Club will evaluate emerging literature and present it in an engaging audioconference + webcast format full of valuable takeaway points that can be applied directly to clinical practice. Ask the authors and experts about the details of key articles and participate in a peer-to-peer discussion on how to translate the evidence into practice improvements.
