Journal Club – February 26

We are pleased to announce that the Finger Lakes Guild of the CMA will be hosting Journal Club on February 26, 2026 at St. Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry (map) from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided.

We will be discussing a recent article in JAMA Internal Medicine reporting on clinical “nudges” in the ICU. In this case, the “nudges” were meant to remind ICU clinicians to offer a comfort-only approach to patients and their families who had been intubated for at least 48 hours. While on the surface this seems rather harmless, we will discuss practical and moral issues related to such interventions, their goals, and outcomes.

If you are planning to attend, please let us know so we can plan refreshments. However, you are welcome to join us whether or not you are able to RSVP.

We hope to see you there!
