Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is a systematic approach to clinical decision-making, where medical practitioners use clinical evidence from current research to decide the best course of treatment. EBM is an essential concept in ​medical education, and medical librarians play ​an instrumental role in training students to ​answer clinical questions. ​This framework was designed to help​ students structure and categorize their​ clinical questions, so that they find the ​answers needed to determine ​treatment and/or outcomes. The framework is stage one of a three ​stage project, which will include ​an interactive webpage, and ​iOS application.

Academic Librarians And Labor Unions: Attitudes And Experiences, Ian Mccullough Dec 2017

Academic Librarians And Labor Unions: Attitudes And Experiences, Ian Mccullough

Ian McCullough

Union membership is strongly bound to faculty status.
