Introduction and Overview of Scoping Reviews is a class designed for anyone that wants to learn more about how to do a scoping review. This class will be taught using a flipped classroom learning model. Attendees will watch a video, An Introduction and Overview of Scoping Reviews, prior to attending the class.
