Health care organizations and industries have a growing need for information professionals who are capable of leading efforts to integrate health sciences research into clinical decision making. Health professional training programs also have an expanded interest in training students and practitioners in evidence based health care practice. In this course, students learn how their professional work can support evidence based health care and knowledge translation initiatives in diverse settings such as academic health science libraries, teaching hospitals, government agencies and health care industries.
Students learn how to search health sciences research literature using a range of reference, bibliographic and pre-filtered ("evidence-based") sources. They also learn to apply evidence assessment techniques, including the basics of critical appraisal methods, to the health sciences literature. Students will learn about, and apply, skills needed to train and support health professionals/students in effectively using key health sciences resources. Students also learn how to develop and organize health sciences collections and will have the opportunity to explore approaches to the provision of information services for clinicians.
