ASPiH Journal Club – A community of practice
Open to all

Join our monthly online journal club via Zoom.

We are expanding on the principles of ASPiH as a community of practice for simulation and will be hosting a monthly online journal club.

We aim for the journal club to be what a journal club is, a great opportunity to review and share views on 1 -2 papers, but we plan to connect the journal club sessions with the ASPiH Special Interest Groups (SIGS) where papers will link to the SIGs to help inform and support the evidence for simulation practice.

The reference/ paper link will be available on the Website two weeks prior to the scheduled Journal Club date. If you would like the join the ASPiH Journal Club please email for a link [email protected]

While we’ll work with critical appraisal approaches, we’ll also encourage you to consider alternative approaches such as FAME - the feasibility, appropriateness, the meaningfulness, and effectiveness (FAME) of research findings to your area of simulation and interactive learning practice.

Join us and let's get the conversations going!
