On December 8, 2018 (Saturday), at 14.00 in the meeting room on the 1- st floor of the Faculty of Medicine and Healthcare of the Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi, a meeting of the scientific club "Journal Club" will be held.

Currently, experts in all areas are experiencing information overload. The number of new medical research articles published annually is progressively increasing. The only way to manage this information overload is to acquire effective literature analysis skills that will allow you to focus on high-quality research and not be distracted by sources of literature with a low level of evidence.

During the meeting of the Journal Club, with the undergraduate of the scientific and pedagogical direction of the 2-nd year Aidasheva Dinara, we will conduct an objective assessment of the scientific publication, based on identifying the position of the author of the article and arguing its facts, carefully analyzing the key methodological features of this work.

The participants of the journal club, in addition to obtaining practical skills of the critical analysis of a scientific article, will consider the possibilities of medicine in diagnosing one of the pressing growing problems of our society, infertility. Worldwide, the number of infertile couples increases annually. In Kazakhstan, this figure is about 15 percent, which, according to the World Health Organization, is a government problem, affecting demographic indicators. In this case, experts find it difficult to clearly identify the cause of infertility.

To participate in the Journal Club are invited students, undergraduates, doctoral students and teachers of universities and universities, research fellows of research institutes. We invite everyone to participate! We will be glad to see you.

The main condition - the article must be pre-read by all participants in the meeting. The text of the article can be found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3936265/ or on the website of the Faculty of Medicine and Health of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in the Science tab - Council of Young Scientists http: // www.kaznu.kz/ru/19181/news).
