Approximately 5500 biomedical papers are published every day and the half-life of this information is currently only 3-4 years. Therefore, it is not only important but nearly impossible to keep up-to-date on the literature relating to one's field.
This paper will propose a Journal Club (JC) format designed for perfusionists. Our experience with JC the last three years encourages us to share what we have learned about design, scheduling, benefits, pitfalls, and the evolution of a JC. We will suggest a list of 50+ journals that represent a cross section of the literature from disciplines affecting perfusionists. We will discuss techniques for surveying the literature, reporting at JC, recording participation, and creating a database for reference. JC is the best way to stay current with new information in our field and the benefits justify the effort required.
