Health Sciences Resources and Services

The Health Sciences Career pathway is designed to provide you with the up-to-date knowledge, contextual understanding, and competencies to work effectively as a medical librarian or health information professional in a medical setting or in a public library that serves all the people who live in that community.  Our teaching is informed by both current research and leading thinking in the field.  You will also have opportunities to interact with the health professionals in the Health Sciences Library System (HSLS) at the University of Pittsburgh.   These courses will equip you for the challenges and demands of planning, evaluating, and disseminating health information resources and services in medical libraries or public libraries of all sizes.
