100% of psych residents also passed the boards.

Psych director is overjoyed.

Called me personally to thank me for purchasing Beat the Boards.

(Only sold to individuals, so we purchased for each of the fellows.)

Interesting discussion about individual subscriptions and librarianship over on X

It’s a reasonably civil discussion about the ethics of librarianship between me and @noethematt.bsky.social

#medlibs

My response to a librarian who wrote into medlibs listserv about buying resources from Oncology Nursing Society for her institution when only a few nurses would actually use them.

#medlibs

Interesting conversation with @noethematt.bsky.social on X.

In my opinion, a defensive strategy towards technology has never worked.

Best to find a way to differentiate yourself somehow.

Maybe through buying individual subscriptions?

#medlibs

All internal medicine residents passed their boards this year!

Thanks to us getting individual subscriptions to mksap and uworld.

(And a great program director)

A dramatic and true medical fable. Also posted on medlib listserv

I keep thinking of Dr. Semmelweiss, a doctor in the 1850s who discovered that doctors who didn’t wash their hands were inadvertently killing new moms.

Doctors were offended because they thought germs came from the air.

Librarians can be champions of free thinkers.

Great research and article from @andyhickner.bsky.social. Worth your time to read. #medlibs

I’m a (kind of solo) hospital librarian and after years of a weird type of shame, I gave up on teaching people how to search & just told them to come to me with questions.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Since I originally posted this when this site was pretty quiet (for #medlibs, at least), I'm posting again. The next (free) Taubman Library Talk has been announced!

I think bluesky is a great opportunity for #medlibs. Feels good to get in on the ground floor and there’s real conversation going on here!
