Title: Doctor Speak for Medical Librarians: An Introduction to Laboratory Tests, Medical Imaging, and Common Drug Types (4 MLA CE)
Instructor: Jennifer Lyon
Time: 8:00 am-12:30 pm on Thursday, October 11, 2018
Description:
The purpose of this course is to provide librarians with practical medical knowledge, focusing on information relevant to case histories, laboratory data, and medical team discussions. Understanding medical concepts improves the librarian's abilities to communicate with physicians and patients, to read and understand the medical literature, and to relate clinical concepts to constructing a contextual literature search. This course will consist of several modular activities, including some common types of drugs, laboratory values including vital signs, basic metabolic profile, complete blood count, and urine analysis; and imaging techniques such as X-Rays, CTs, and MRIs.
Jennifer A. Lyon received her MS (Molecular Biology) from UW-Madison in 1993 and her MLIS (Library and Information Studies) from the UNC-Greensboro in 1999. Presently, she is pursuing a M.Ed. in Instructional Design at Western Governors University. Professionally, she worked as a biomedical librarian at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (2000-2010), the University of Florida (2010-2014), Stony Brook University (2014-2016), and currently at Children's Mercy Kansas City (2017- ). She has served as an Assistant Cochrane Information Specialist with the Urology Working Group since March, 2013. Her expertise includes supporting the clinical, research, and educational activities of students, residents, faculty and professional staff. She has extensive teaching experience, provides direct support in the clinical environment through attendance at clinical rounds, offers instruction and consultation services in support of basic science research, and collaborates on various types of evidence synthesis research projects. She is also active in supporting health literacy.
