This interprofessional medical journal club is a recurring, live educational activity designed for nurses, pharmacists, social workers, and physician associates. Meeting monthly, participants will critically review current peer-reviewed literature relevant to clinical practice, evaluate the quality and applicability of emerging evidence, and discuss implications for patient care across professional roles. Through facilitated article appraisal, case-based discussion, and collaborative reflection, members of the healthcare team will strengthen evidence-based decision-making, clarify discipline-specific perspectives, and identify opportunities to integrate new findings into coordinated practice. The activity is intended to promote ongoing professional development, interprofessional communication, and shared accountability for improving team skills/strategies.

1. Analyze current peer review literature in order to increase the knowledge base and confidence in delivering care that is up to date and supported by the latest research.
2. Outline the updated practice protocols using clear and effective verbal and written communication.
3. Identify interprofessional, evidence-based practices to strengthen the healthcare team’s skills.

In support of improving patient care, the American Red Cross is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
