Joshua Waitzman tells you how to use NephJC to get ahead in fellowship and in life.
Twitter Journal Clubs
Appendix 2 of the NephJC Primer on Twitter Journal Clubs contained a list of all known twitter journal clubs. This information used to be stored on the Wikipedia page on journal clubs, you can see it in the history. But Wikipedia, home of a comprehensive list of English Canadian game shows (we are not kidding, see French list here), did not think a list of Twitter journal clubs was encyclopedia worthy. So we are recreating the list here as a Google Sheet. Have at it.
Introducing the NephJC Primer on Twitter Journal Clubs
In the tradition of Andrew Ibrahim’s Visual Abstract Primer, NephJC is proud to announce the NephJC Twitter Journal Club Primer. We have been working on this for about 4 months and think it’s pretty good.
The Primer is intended to be a living document and the latest version will always be hosted here.
Feel free to tweet feedback.

Journal article on starting an online journal club
NephJC co-creators Topf and Hiremath contributed to a recent publication on nephrology journal clubs. It s a pretty quick read that should help people replicate the success of NephJC. Take a look.
New kid on the block: #RheumJC
The rheumatology crew that killed it during the Rituximab for ANCA vasculitis NephJC are striking out on there own with an ambitious plan for their own twitter journal club. They are kicking it off this coming Thursday with a GMT and EST at the exact same time as our NephJCs, 8GMT and 9EST. They are then doing a consolidation wrap up discussion the following day.
The first topic is one near and dear to all of our hearts, lupus nephritis. RCT of tacrolimus versus MMF for induction.
It would be great if some of our community could support the rheumatologists as they launch their journal club.
