Editorial clubs as a new teaching tool in postgraduate training.

Full Abstract

BACKGROUND:
We report an editorial club as a novel method of teaching systems-based competency in a hematology/oncology fellowship program.

METHOD:
Editorial clubs focus on topics of broad economic, political, and legal ramifications of hematology/oncology and thereby help to develop systems competency as required by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

RESULTS:
We began our program in 2001 and report on its functioning and outcome in a group of hematology/oncology fellows at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

CONCLUSION:
Topics were diverse, fellows and faculty attendance was excellent, and fellows reported improved systems-based competency.
