Effecting Change in an Evidence-Based Medicine Curriculum: Librarians' Role in a Pediatric Residency Program

Kathy Zeblisky et al. Med Ref Serv Q. 2015.

Abstract

Librarians for the joint Phoenix Children's Hospital/Maricopa Medical Center Pediatric Residency Program were asked to assist on the Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Subcommittee for the program. Faculty was open to recommendations for revising and improving the curriculum and desired librarian assistance in completing the task. The annual program review and conference evaluations revealed a gap between the objectives of the EBM curriculum and the residents' perceived abilities to integrate knowledge into meaningful literature searches. This column demonstrates how librarians can collaborate with their residency programs to revise and improve processes to effect change in their program's EBM curriculum.

Keywords: Curriculum design; evidence-based medicine; hospital librarians; residency training programs.
