Medical Librarians <http://www.dartmouth.edu/~biomed/institute2009/>
When: Monday, August 3rd, 5:00pm – Thursday, August 6th, noon
Where: Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire (an easy two-hour drive
from Boston and many other New England locations; easy access from airports

PLEASE NOTE: THE ALL-INCLUSIVE FEE HAS BEEN REDUCED TO $700 THANKS TO A GENEROUS GRANT FROM THE NNLM-NEW ENGLAND REGION. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THEIR SUPPORT IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES
What: This is an intensive, introductory, 2.5 day course designed for
medical librarians by medical librarians. Through large group interactive
lectures, small group discussion, and hands-on, case-based learning, you’ll
acquire skills needed to support and teach evidence-based clinical practice
(EBCP). 20 MLA CE credits pending.
Who: The Institute is for medical librarians who want to learn
evidence-based medicine concepts in order to comfortably support and teach
EBCP at their institutions. Attendance will be limited to 32 participants
to maximize individual learning.
Why: After completing this Institute, students will be able to:
* Identify and explain the concepts, issues and process of evidence-based
clinical practice.
* Recognize study designs and understand their strengths and limitations.
* Create well-built, answerable clinical questions.
* Use the clinical questions to find the best evidence in the literature
about the diagnosis and treatment of disorders.
* Identify and explain the criteria for judging the internal validity of
randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, and diagnostic
studies.
* Identify roles that librarians can undertake in providing EBCP training
and support to health care professionals.
