Current research articles in the key journals in orthodontics are reviewed as they are published. The assessment of current literature for its evidence-based value is critical. Journal Club provides a mechanism for surveying major orthodontic periodicals to identify important articles, reviewing those articles and discussing each article in an open seminar format. Students in the Advanced Orthodontic Program participate in this seminar each term of their three-year residency.
