CE Class Brochure & Registration Form

When: Friday November 7, 2008, 8:00 am – 3:30 pm

Meeting Location: Conference Center at Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC

Course Title: Teaching Clinical Skills to Medical Librarians

Instructors: Jennifer Lyon and Julie Beauregard, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Course Description (from the MLA website): “Continued education in medicine is essential to integrating the librarian more fully with medical teams and improving their understanding of the medical literature and how it applies to individual patient cases. The purpose of this course is to provide librarians with practical medical knowledge, focusing on information relevant to case histories, laboratory data, and medical team discussions. Understanding medical concepts improves the librarian's abilities to communicate with physicians and patients, to read and understand the medical literature, and to relate clinical concepts in constructing a literature search. This course will consist of several modular activities. Each module will include an introduction, the medical knowledge content, and a practice activity. The modules will cover: 1) common medical terms and abbreviations; 2) common types of drugs, drug names, drug nicknames; 3) laboratory values including vital signs, basic metabolic profile, complete blood count, and urine analysis.”
