A New Spin on Journal Club: Using Evidence-Based Arguments to Debate Research News

Biomedical master's students participate in a debate-style journal club that challenges them to evaluate a health-related finding reported in the news. Assigned opposing views, students must defend their position using evidence from the scientific literature. This approach to journal club mirrors real-life situations and has been positively received by students.
