Journal of Nepal Medical Association (JNMA) is the first medical journal of Nepal. It has been publishing articles far back since 1963. Apart from publication, the journal has been conducting numerous training for consultants, interns, and even medical students. Being able to be a part of the Journal Club at JNMA was a huge opportunity. It seems like students of medical school are always short of time. The vast never-ending curriculum of medical school takes up all the time of the students. The impact of several stressors for a medical student includes excessive workload, difficulties with studying and time management.1 Hence, we students get limited time for extracurricular activities. For a third-year medical student, the JNMA Journal Club was a big exposure. Talking about the history of Journal Club, it was William Osler who is credited with creating the modern journal club while at McGill University, Montreal in 1875.2 Osler encouraged the collective reading of subscription journals in order to spread the prohibitively high cost of print periodicals.3
