How do we critically appraise??

In this activity, we outline the main methods and technique we commonly use to appraise critically.

The research question?

In this activity, we will appraise a research question of an example study paper. We will be considering what question is being asked and has the most appropriate approach been used to answer that question?

Dissecting the methodology?

In this activity, we continue to work through the example paper to look at the study methodology. Has the chosen research design been carried out appropriately? Are there methodology limitations that will inform the appraisal?

Interpreting study results?

In this activity, we shall look at key elements of appraising study results and their wider implications, using the example paper.

What have you learnt??

In this final few steps, we will review what we have covered over this course.

This is a medical course, suitable for medical personnel. Relevant research design and analysis methods in the course, including quantitative and qualitative, are good concepts and topics.

AA

The course was pretty good, and if there was one part I liked the most, it was the technology and the models for reviewing research papers on health care, very well analyzed, very professional.

DC

In this course we assess the contribution of published papers to their field of study and identify where further research is needed. This course is very meaningful and benefits me a lot.

RV

As a doctor, we not only need to be skilled in technology, but also need to constantly improve the medical academic. I like this course very much. The course evaluates published papers, explains their methods, identifies strengths and weaknesses, and provides a balanced assessment of papers for discussion with colleagues, patients, and academic institutions. It's worth learning.
