All Issues

IDSA’s Journal Club informs readers about important new infectious diseases research. Each month, the club’s panelists search the medical literature for studies with a significant impact on the clinical practice of ID and discuss their selections as a group. Panelists then write brief reviews, which focus on key takeaways. You can find the latest Journal Club reviews on Science Speaks, IDSA’s and HIVMA’s blog. Reviews published before Sept. 1, 2023, are available in the archive below.
