Journal Based Learning
Journal based learning (JBL) involves reading and then answering questions based on articles in scientific journals.
JBL is an excellent way to learn about scientific advances and techniques as part of your continuing professional development (CPD).
To help you get the most out of your JBL read our User Guide.
