What does a medical librarian do?

Medical librarianship is a service profession. Medical librarians are specially trained to research and provide information about medical diagnoses, treatments, procedures, tests, research, funding and equipment for health occupation workers, patients, consumers and corporations.

Medical librarians work with doctors, nurses, therapists, pharmacists, medical students, hospital administrators and others involved in the health care profession. All of these health care employees are educated and want to see their patients receive the best possible treatment. Good information is an advantage for good health care.
