The objective of this article is to describe the implementation of a leadership journal club (LJC) for officers of a professional organization for pharmacy students. In 2012 and 2013, the faculty advisors of a Student Society of Health-System Pharmacy chapter coordinated a LJC to increase leadership development in the officers. Participants met for six sessions, approximately once a month over six months, to discuss articles in six leadership concept areas. Perceptions of the LJC were assessed with a questionnaire that included 13 Likert-scale items and two open-ended questions. A majority of participants evaluated each Likert-scale item positively. Open-ended feedback indicated that most participants enjoyed discussions with their peers, but some felt that the topics were repetitive. It was concluded that a LJC was well received by officers of a professional organization for pharmacy students.
