Next meeting is

Wednesday, June 2nd

12:30 - 12:45 PM ET

Emory University’s Department of Rehabilitation Medicine is providing NOVA members with complimentary access to the medical surveillance journal, Rehab in Review. This journal is the most read journal among Rehabilitation physicians worldwide and is used for teaching and to promote real-time evidence-based medicine. Dr. Burke has used this as a resource for journal clubs, and quick discussions with our entire team, including the nurses on the inpatient unit.

With a quick glance at the titles, you can see that this journal is produced to help the practicing Rehab professional. Instead of reading 20-25 research articles each month, members can read Rehab in Review with the option of attending a 15-minute online Journal Club summarizing a few of the articles.
