Abstract
This article examines how direct engagement with credible resources significantly enhances students' practical skills in clinical scenarios. The program prepares students to utilize authoritative resources, fostering confidence in real-world clinical settings, especially in resource-limited environments. Data from student evaluations indicate a marked improvement in perceived difficulty of EBM cases and overall performance scores following the implementation of librarian-led learning sessions. This approach not only meets accreditation standards but also equips future healthcare professionals with essential skills for effective patient care. This underscores the crucial role of librarians in enhancing students' abilities to appraise and apply evidence-based knowledge.
