Become a MORE Rater for REHAB+!

The MSK Network is currently recruiting MORE raters for  Rehab+ , a free email alerting service and searchable database that brings high-quality evidence to the attention of occupational and physical therapists. 

 Please help us identify the best evidence for you and your peers! If you are currently practicing as an occupational therapist or physical therapist in a clinical setting or as a clinical practice leader or manager directly supervising clinical care, we invite you to become a rater for the McMaster Online Rating of Evidence (MORE) system.  The MORE system collects your vote on the relevance and newsworthiness of hot-off-the-press articles within your clinical specialty. We supply online articles according to your clinical interests, and you rate the articles on 2 simple scales. This takes about 5 to 10 minutes. You can tell us how often you are willing to receive articles.  

Benefits to becoming a MORE rater:  

  • Stay current with the best evidence that has been critically appraised by methodology experts at McMaster’s HiRU. 
  • See what your peers are saying about the same article. 
  • Help build an evidence-based information service for you and your colleagues (Rehab+). 
  • Receive an annual summary of your ratings activity to include in your professional practice portfolio.  

If you would like to join us as a rater, please click on this link and provide your name and email address. You can also include the names and email addresses of any colleagues whom you feel would also be interested in joining us as a MORE rater. 

Please feel free to share this call with your networks as REHAB+ can only continue to exist if we increase our rater pool.  

PS If you haven’t already done so, we invite you to sign up for the free Rehab+ service to receive alerts of articles that pass the critical appraisal and MORE Rehab rating processes.  

If you have any questions about MORE Rehab, please let us know at morerehab@mcmasterhkr.com

We look forward to working with you!
