The journal club has proven to be an effective method for staff development in the ambulatory surgery unit at Rochester General Hospital. It has increased the staff members' awareness and comfort with research and has fostered discussions around pertinent clinical issues. Collegial relationships have been strengthened by staff members' shared commitment to presenting articles at monthly meetings. A journal club is a simple method for continuing education that can be adapted to many clinical settings.
