Institute of Biomedical Ethics and History of Medicine

The Journal Club aims to give PhD students and other researchers the possibility to meet once a month to present a recent article in the field of biomedical ethics, and critically evaluate it. These meetings allow students to keep up to date with the literature, to exchange views on current issues in the field, and to improve their critical appraisal skills. Presentations last 15-20 minutes and are followed by approx. 20 minutes discussion. Presenters will summarize a paper and give their own critical appraisal. The paper will be sent to the other participants in the Journal Club two weeks before the presentation. Location: Meeting room E 01 of the IBME, Winterthurerstr. 30, 8006 Zurich Time: First Wednesday of every month at 3 pm. The calendar of meetings will be published on the IBME’s website at: http://www.ibme.uzh.ch/de/ethik/lehre.html The journal Club counts as an elective module for the PhD Program BmEL. Participants will be entitled to 0.5 ECTS per full semester. Requirements:
