Learning to Critically Appraise Rheumatic Disease Literature

To provide optimal patient care, rheumatologists must be equipped and motivated to critically appraise the literature. The conceptual frameworks Retrieval Enhanced Learning, Self-Determination Theory, and Communities of Practice can inform the design of educational approaches to promote critical appraisal in practice. HSS CLASS-Rheum ® is a learning tool that can be used to help rheumatologists learn skills for critical appraisal through retrieval practice. Combining retrieval practice with opportunities for connection through Peer Instruction, journal clubs, and other forums can help support engagement and internalization of m otivation, promoting persistence with critical appraisal in practice.
