Journal Club is included in your annual AAIECMH Membership. All sessions run from 12:00 to 1:00 pm MST, usually on the 4th Friday of the month, and are delivered via Zoom. All members receive email invites to attend Journal Club.
The Journal Club is meant to be a coming together as a community of professionals to share knowledge, skills, expertise, and passions to mentor and support each other in our work with infants and young children. All skill and expertise levels are welcome!
Journal Club sessions will be recorded and available for access by members for one year.
