Today’s health professionals undoubtedly need sophisticated information-related skills. Competency statements from national accrediting and professional associations reflect this need.
HSLIC faculty provide the skills and knowledge that HSC students need to meet these competencies. Many competencies relate to Evidence Based Practice (EBP) skills in question formulation, searching for the best evidence, critical appraisal, and making informed decisions. Other skills relate to library or informatics skill sets.
For these reasons, HSLIC faculty integrate their teaching into many HSC program curricula and they are gearing-up to expand their coverage. HSLIC faculty currently are integrated into the medical school, medical residency, physician assistant, biomedical sciences, population health, nursing, pharmacy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy curricula. HSLIC faculty currently are the instructors-of-record in eight credit courses, which reflects the degree to which they have become aligned with the curricula at the HSC.
If you sense that your curriculum could use the involvement of HSLIC faculty in meeting the instructional needs of your own HSC program, please contact us! <https://hsc.unm.edu/hslic/help/ask-a-librarian.html>.
