See Contacts for the leaders of each group and see Clinical Group Meetings for meeting dates.
Each group has a number of leaders whose role it is to coordinate meetings, facilitate discussions, and developing clinical questions.
The clinical group leaders are also responsible for feedback from their group members to the Steering Committee by way of a quarterly report. The report includes a progress report, the copies of completed Critically Appraised Topics and Critically Apprasied Papers. Leaders maintain a paper record of their groups' activities and any articles used.
Group members participate actively in the activities coordinated by the group leader. This may involve brainstorming a clinical question, reading and evaluating articles, and publishing Clinically Appraised Topics and Papers in this website.
