Podcast Episode Description

On this episode, we discuss a benefit that all ASHT members have complimentary access to -- the monthly Journal Club. The Research Division hosts the Journal Club to review recent articles from the Journal of Hand Therapy and discuss their clinical relevance. We are joined today by Journal Club Chair Sarah Doerrer, PhD, OTR/L, CHT, CLT, to learn how the Journal Club works, how members can participate and how students interested in hand and upper extremity therapy can participate and increase their exposure to clinical research. Recently, the Journal Club moved to a more interactive platform and format to allow greater insight and communication for participants. Each Journal Club is one hour and offers one continuing education hour, or 0.1 CEU.
