NCCMT Online Journal Club – Improve Your Critical Appraisal Skills!
Join us to learn about appraising rapid reviews! Rapid evidence reviews have emerged as a key form of evidence synthesis in the COVID-19 response, but they have limitations. Find out how to assess the quality of a rapid review, interpret its limitations and how to apply these to your evidence-informed decision making process.
The session will take a small group discussion-based approach to understanding critical appraisal. Participants will be expected to read the session’s article in advance and be open to engaging in a discussion on the topic.
