The UCLA Center for Prehospital Care established the Prehospital Care Research Forum at UCLA in 1992 in cooperation with Jems Communications. The PCRF Journal Club is a bi-monthly online meeting that critically evaluates published research and its relevance to prehospital care. We aim to promote healthy and respectful discussions that challenge present and future prehospital care practices. Each session is facilitated by a panel of experts, PCRF board members, and associates.
