The Cochrane Students Journal Club and Creating a Secondary Learning Resource for Gathering and Appraising Evidence

Abstract

In the current era of evidence-based healthcare, online learning resources provide accessible and affordable training and teaching resources to stimulate the next generation of medical professionals. In the first of a series of qualitative case studies on the Cochrane student’s journal club, the authors evaluate and portray the outcomes in each of its patient-focused, evidence-based learning activities. This study illustrates an exercise centered on the hypothetical case of a patient treated for Plasmodium vivax presenting with a suspected relapse.
