Introduction

IPNAJC is a pediatric nephrology journal club that uses the Zoom platform to discuss the latest updates, journal articles, and guidelines that embrace the driving force for kidney care in children.

It was formerly a Twitter journal club under the hashtag #IPNAJC. Currently, to enhance better interaction with participants, we are now hosting the discussion sessions on Zoom. The first round of the Twitter-based journal club was started in July 2022 to cover three time zones (USA Eastern Time, Central European Summer Time and Indian Standard Time) to allow global participation.

For the journal club discussion, we chose articles/ guidelines to engage the nephrology community. The author(s) or subject expert(s) are present to facilitate interactive and in-depth discussions.

Please follow IPNA Journal Club on Twitter under @ipnajc for the latest news. Please share this news to promote further pediatric nephrology education brought to you by IPNA. Subscribe to the IPNA newsletter for more updates.
