Thinking Critically About Appraising FOAM

[para. 1]: " The dawn of the 21st century has certainly left us with new issues and problems that we have seldom encountered before. “Fake news,” misinformation are rife on social media, and the need for increased criticality in reading anything in our daily lives has never been so important. Critical appraisal is now being taught by elementary school teachers and encouraged all along the educational spectrum; online medical education should not be exempt from these discussions. As such, we thank Drs. Munz and Chen for their commentary on our paper which highlights many key findings in our study and agrees with us that it is imperative for our discipline to bring critical appraisal to online educational resources."
