ABSTRACT Background Journal clubs provide opportunities for discussion of new and evolving practices and technologies. Objective We sought to evaluate the utility and effectiveness of a monthly web‐based cosmetic dermatology journal club facilitated by faculty, residents, and medical students. Results From May 2025 to September 2025, 16 articles were discussed and 41 responses were recorded (response rate: 60%). Most respondents found the journal club was an appropriate length, engaging, and very useful. Relevance, frequency, and likelihood to participate in the future varied significantly by participant type. Medical students and residents collectively considered the journal club too infrequent ( p = 0.03) and reported it had less relevance to their practice ( p < 0.001). Conclusion A monthly web‐based cosmetic dermatology journal club was generally positively received by respondents.
