I serve as the Library’s primary liaison to the School of Medicine and Graduate Medical Education programs. My goal is to integrate information seeking and management skills instruction into the undergraduate and graduate curricula. I also work closely with other Health System departments such as Nutrition Services and Pharmacy to provide both training and reference support.
