Cap off your conference with an informal, high-yield journal club led by four experienced EM educators. In a relaxed setting outside the lecture halls, we’ll critically appraise four recent studies that matter most to your practice—the kind of articles that spark debate, challenge assumptions, and might just change what you do tomorrow on shift.

Expect:

Lively discussion over real drinks and real data
Practical takeaways, key statistical insights, and bedside applications
Audience participation and questions encouraged throughout
This isn’t just a journal club—it’s evidence-based camaraderie, where education meets community.
