Editorial clubs as a new teaching tool in postgraduate training. 
We report an editorial club as a novel method of teaching systems-based competency in a hematology/oncology fellowship program.  Editorial clubs focus on topics of broad economic, political, and legal ramifications of hematology/oncology and thereby help to develop systems competency as required by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.  We began our program in 2001 and report on its functioning and outcome in a group of hematology/oncology fellows at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.  Topics were diverse, fellows and faculty attendance was excellent, and fellows reported improved systems-based competency.
