AHS Twitter Journal Club
The AHS Education Committee will be leading a monthly series of Twitter-based journal clubs in 2022. Our Twitter-based journal clubs will allow for easy participation using the dedicated #AHSJC hashtag, allowing anyone to follow along and contribute to the conversation. The committee has already outlined the surgeon lead for each month.
The surgeon lead for each month will find an interesting hernia article for which the PDF is available to the public. Each article will be published on the AHS Twitter account the night before and the day of the journal club. Along with two of their residents and/or fellows, the surgeon lead will discuss the article and engage responses.
All of the following events will start at 8 PM ET.
