Introduction. Despite widespread implementation of journal club in medical universities around the world, this activity is lacking in Russia. Currently, there are no publications about the evaluation of journal club at the Russian medical education system as an learning tool and its efficacy.The objective of this work was to describe the experience of participation in the journal club in order to assess participant’s satisfaction and preliminary efficacy of the meetings as well as to identify opportunities to improve and implement journal club rounds.Methods and materials. In February–May 2020, we conducted voluntary and anonymous online survey with 14 participants of journal club at Pavlov University. We used semi-structured questionnaire developed by the authors specifically to meet the objectives of the study.Results. We conducted 7 journal club meetings, of which 6 were online. The total number of completed questionnaires was 10 (out of 66 send by email). We identified several barriers among participants: 1) lack of English knowledge; 2) lack of presentation skills; 3) not sufficient theoretical background. The suggestions for improvement were following: 1) to adapt the debate format and 2) to use the incentives to increase active participation, for example, to provide the extra educational credits which increased student’s rating.Conclusions. The efficacy of journal club as a learning tool might be increased by providing an additional educational training focused on the research methods, and by the developing the guidelines for helping critically analyzed the scientific paper.
