In a field, such as librarianship that incorporates technology, it is even more important. In health science librarianship, the need for professional development has long been regarded as important in providing quality service. This study’s main objective was to determine the preferred professional development method(s) used by health sciences librarians. A survey was developed using Qualtrics and sent out through various listservs used by health sciences librarians and completed by 159 health sciences librarians. Health science librarians answered questions about use and preference as well as rating the resources on how these methods met their professional development needs. The results of this study provide data and insight on which types of professional development health science librarians prefer and which they find most helpful as they become familiar with the nuances that come with serving as a health science librarian. Having a better understanding of the support needed and proven resources can help health sciences librarians on-board to their job sooner and to advocate for future professional development.KEYWORDS: Continuing educationhealth science librarianshiponline learningprofessional development Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed on the publisher’s website at https://doi.org/10.1080/15323269.2023.2262911","PeriodicalId":35389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospital Librarianship","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135591297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A clinical librarian is not pushing a cart full of novels and magazines around the hospital floors; rather, the clinical librarian supplies evidence to health care professionals to improve practice. The author practices in a small primary care community hospital that maintains four residency programs and a fellowship program. The hospital’s internal medicine (IM) residency added the clinical librarian to their rounding team to increase support for evidence-based medicine. This is an action step to support the program’s improvement plan for an identified Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) deficiency.","PeriodicalId":35389,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospital Librarianship","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44044770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
