Item Board Exam Test Prep: A Survey of SCAMeL Library Resources(2017-10) Johnson, Emily; Amen, BrookPurpose: The purpose of this survey is to evaluate what board exam question banks, if any, SCAMeL member libraries subscribe to and if these resources are being utilized by their campuses. Participants: Participants were members of the SCAMeL collection development group. SCAMeL consists of 17 academic health science libraries in the South Central region. We requested that one representative from each institution respond to the survey. Methodology: SCAMeL library collection development representatives were emailed a link to the survey on June 7, 2017. The survey consisted of 16 multiple choice and free text questions and was created using Qualtrics. The survey remained active until 5:00 PM CST on June 30, 2017.Item Interprofessional Education: Opportunities for Librarian Involvement(2016-10) Johnson, Emily; Kenny, TimPurpose:This poster describes two librarians’ participation in the UNT Health Science Center’s (UNTHSC) Interprofessional Education/Practice (IPE/P) curriculum during the Spring 2016 semester. Setting/Participants/Resources: The Interprofessional Education and Practice department develops and integrates IPE/P training into the curriculum for all clinical programs on campus. Students from UNTHSC and other schools in the area participate in IPE/P collaborative sessions through multiple years of their education and training. Brief Description: Two Research and Education Librarians participated in the Spring 2016 Initial and Intermediate IPE/P program. The librarians were trained along with faculty members and health care providers on principles of IPE/P facilitation and the curriculum, culminating in facilitating student group sessions during designated “IPE/P Days.” This poster describes the mission of the UNTHSC’s IPE/P program, the librarian’s involvement in facilitator training, IPE/P student sessions, challenges encountered and lessons learned. Results/Outcome: The library’s involvement in campus IPE/P curriculum led to a greater understanding among library staff of the tenants of interprofessionaleducation and generated new ideas for the role information professionals can play in IPE/P curriculum and practice. Facilitating sessions comprised of students and clinicians from a variety of campus departments and organizations in the surrounding area also provided new outreach and marketing opportunities for library services. Discussion/Conclusion: Interprofessional education is an emerging area of health science curriculum in which librarians can contribute to research and education at their organization.
