Perioperative Care Journal Club

Perioperative Care Journal Club

We are very excited to inform you about the establishment of the monthly Perioperative Care Journal Club (PCJC).  The PCJC meets the last Wednesday of every month to review and discuss papers/articles of interest to all in the perioperative community.

The Society for Perioperative Research and Care Journal Club is a self-approved group learning activity (Section 1) as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
