MedEd Podcast: The Future of Medical Libraries: Evolving Roles in Research, Education and Clinical Support

Michelle Kraft recently shared the following Cleveland Clinic MedEd podcast and encouraged fellow Librarians to share it with anyone who may not realize the benefits of having a medical librarian in their institution:

“The Future of Medical Libraries: Evolving Roles in Research, Education and Clinical Support” (23 min.) where we talk about the rapidly evolving field of medical library science. No longer keepers of information, the librarian’s role has shifted to that of enablers of research and education in a digital age. Dr. Tizzano and I discuss trends such as artificial intelligence, hospital mergers and the challenges of funding and access in medical libraries. We also dive a little into the problems of fake medical information/news, the importance of systematic reviews and the critical support librarians provide to healthcare professionals.

Share your comments:

• What do you think?  
• What other ways can medical librarians be involved in the future of healthcare, medicine, biomedical research? 
• What are some barriers as well as opportunities to our involvement?
