At the end of this assignment, the student should be able to:

Overview
Professional association journals communicate information about health care advancements, new technology, changing regulations, and so on. This assignment will familiarize students with the contents of their professional journal and require students to prepare a journal abstract (summary) of a selected article.
Instructions

a. Going to its website (many journals are posted online)
b. Borrowing a journal through interlibrary loan (e.g., college library, local library)
c. Borrowing a journal from a professional in your field of study or your instructor
NOTE: Borrowing a journal from a professional in your field of study is an excellent way to start the networking process that will lead to employment. However, if you borrow a journal, return it promptly and include a thank-you note.
NOTE: Student members of professional associations receive professional journals. However, it usually takes eight weeks to receive your first journal.
