This week the new UNM medical students begin their journey toward becoming physicians. Our state urgently needs new physicians to care for its diverse populations so students will begin their training immediately!
Education
Medical students quickly use the skills and resources that they learn from Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) faculty for their Health of New Mexico Block. Within a few weeks, they will apply different skills and use resources for their series of Clinical Reasoning courses that they take during the first 18 months of their program. They will learn these skills and resources at a training session on Tuesday July 16th.
Resources
Many of the resources that medical students will use for their Clinical Reasoning courses can be found in the HSLIC Clinical Reasoning Guide.
Popular resources include:
Throughout their time at UNM medical students will access reserve resources for their blocks and courses such as textbooks, manuals, models, and videos. Medical students can freely access the thousands of other texts, journals, test prep tools such as Board Vitals and other information sources to supplement the reserve resources placed by block or course faculty members.
Services
HSLIC faculty and staff can provide medical students assistance through the Ask a Librarian link on the HSLIC homepage or in-person. Contractors are renovating the main entrance Second-Floor area so simply climb the stairs or take the elevator to the Third Floor to find the HSLIC in-person service desk.
We look forward to working with you over the next four years!
