Abstract

Medical students must learn how to find, critically appraise, and apply high-quality information to support their clinical decisions. To reinforce these skills, the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine embedded medical librarians into a longitudinal case-based, problem-based learning curriculum, where they provide individualized feedback on student's skills in this area.
