Medical College of Wisconsin, Kerrigan Auditorium

All are welcome to join us as we kick off another great year of Journal Club, sponsored by Benjamin Rush Institute. Journal Club is a monthly meeting on a Wednesday (the week of the month will vary, as will the topics of discussion!—so keep checking this calendar!). Students sign up to present an article or research piece to share with the group. We always serve great lunches, and RSVPs are appreciated.

Last year, over 400 students attended MCW’s Journal Club over the academic year 2015-2016 and this year we hope to reach more students. We discuss medical innovation, technology, ethics, policy and anything that is interesting to us MCW students.

October's speaker is Joel Lange, BRI chapter member and Journal Club Chair. Joel will deliver his presentation reviewing the top two presidential candidates' plans for healthcare.

Forty-five (45) students joined us for MCW's BRI/AMA joint Journal Club's "Monthly Meeting of the Minds." This month's theme was "The Basics of Healthcare Finances Every Doctor Should Know."

During February's BRI/AMA Journal Club lunch talk we tailored our presentation specifically for an area many medical students don't learn about. While medical students learn the ins and outs of scientific medicine, they are given little to no education on the financial aspects involved with medicine. Therefore, BRI at MCW decided to give a "crash course" presentation outlining all of the various payment options and plans in the American healthcare system today. Lunch was provided to those who attended.

PLEASE JOIN US FOR THE LAST JOURNAL CLUB MEETING OF THE YEAR!!

Keith Wietze will be speaking on the criteria for whether to make drugs legal or not.

Junne Jiyoon Park will talk about euthanesia in the young.

It will be another great lunch event. Thanks to everyone who has attended over the years. You have helped make these among BRIs most well-attended student events ever. At BRI's 2015 Leadership Conference, MCW was awarded $500 towards our events this year, due to our amazing attendance last year.

Please join us for a free Journal Club meeting with lunch!
