      ab: Introduction: Critical thinking is one of the most key skills needed by an outstanding student, which can lead to beneficial results by influencing the learning process. Measuring the state of critical thinking among students and searching for the relationship of this variable with factors such as learning styles can be a guide for policymakers and educational managers in designing and revising educational strategies. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between critical thinking and learning styles. Materials and Methods: The current study was a cross sectional research which conducted in 2023. The participants were 110 first-year students who studying at Ilam University of Medical Sciences in the fields of health, nursing and midwifery, medical emergencies and allied health professions. The data were collected using VARK learning styles questionnaire and the California Critical Thinking Skills Test Questionnaire Form B. Statistical tests included independent t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) which imported to SPSS V.21 at the level of significance less than 0.05. Results: The average critical thinking score of the participants was 8.55. More than half of the studied students had two or more learning styles. There is a statistically significant relationship between singlestyle and multi-style modes of VARK learning and evaluation skills (p=0.034) and inductive reasoning (p=0.009) of critical thinking. Conclusion: It is necessary to strengthen the skills related to reasoning and critical thinking among students of medical sciences with a longitudinal theme approach, both in the form of official curriculum and in the form of short-term training courses.
