WHAT IS IT?

• An annual competition focused on primary literature/online journal club

• Multiple-choice paper exam you take as a group

• “The Clinical Research Challenge was a nice introduction to evaluating primary literature. The competition helped enhance my critical reading skills, which I felt helped prepared me well for the Drug Literature course pharmacy students take during 4th year. The ability to analyze and apply primary literature is an essential skill for clinical pharmacists in today's health care environment. If you're a 3rd or 4th year student, I highly encourage you to participate in the competition!”

--Ashley Leung, participant of Clinical Research Challenge 2019
