Step 1: Register 
Register for the session(s) you would like to attend. 
Step 2: Receive Article Information 
Registered participants will receive the titles of the selected ABFM National Journal Club articles along with instructions for accessing them.  
Step 3: Read the Articles
Participants should review both articles prior to the session to prepare for discussion. 
Step 4: Join the Discussion 
During the one-hour Zoom session, participants will engage in an interactive discussion led by faculty facilitators. Rather than a lecture, the session is designed as a collaborative conversation where attendees discuss clinical questions, evaluate the evidence, explore practice implications, and work through the ABFM National Journal Club questions together. 
Step 5: Complete the Assessments 
Following the session, participants complete the ABFM National Journal Club assessments independently within their MyABFM Portfolio to receive credit.  

Credit Opportunities:
Credit is awarded through the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) upon successful completion of the National Journal Club assessments in your MyABFM Portfolio.  

For each article successfully completed, participants may earn: 

• 1 ABFM Certification Point & 1 AAFP Prescribed Credit  

With two articles discussed during each session, participants may earn up to: 

• 2 ABFM Certification Points & 2 AAFP Prescribed Credits  

Participants will discuss the assessment questions together during the journal club session, but must complete the assessments individually through their MyABFM Portfolio to receive credit from the ABFM.
