VCDE Virtual Journal Club - The Vocabulary & Common Data Elements Workspace has created a Virtual Journal Club, meant to build upon the familiar journal club activity found in most collegiate and graduate schools. Further, it will borrow from the familiar “seminar series,” also prevalent at most institutions of higher learning. Finally, it will include a more recent element of knowledge sharing, that encompasses web sites, blogs, and social media streams, etc., which can be part of the Journal Club presentations and knowledge sharing.
