Health Sciences
Librarian
Duties and Responsibilities: Medical librarians are
information specialists who provide assistance in finding medical documents.
Clinical trials, medical treatments or procedures, as well as other pertinent
information that applies to the medical industry are common documents sought after
by these librarians. Medical librarians are specialized in using databases and
reference materials to conduct research for medical information. They can work
in medical school libraries, corporations, non-profit organizations or
government agencies. Medical librarians commonly have training in the sciences,
health or medicine. They might also be trained in the information sciences to
acquire the skills needed to maintain databases.
Salary: $55,690 for all librarians
Education: Students must graduate from high school, taking classes such as English,
math, typing, and science. A four-year bachelor's degree is then required,
including courses such as science and computer science. A master's degree in
library science (MLS) is mandatory. Courses include scientific literature, biomedical
communication, bibliographic resource use, library organization and management,
and standard cataloging systems. While health science librarians are not
required to be certified, the Medical Library Association does offer
certification examinations which would help a librarian advance to a higher
position.
Reflection: No, I wouldnt like to be one, because i doesnt interest me,
