EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND3Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   ObjectiveWe created two approaches to continue developing a medical library instructional schema supporting information skills and behaviors for academic health sciences programs.• Mapping the alignment of the steps of evidence-based practice (EBP) with information skills and behaviors within the local programs’ curricula• Analyzing the representation of information skills and behaviors in curriculum standards for the programs’ accrediting bodies 4Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   Background• The library supports the professional health programs housed within five colleges– Veterinary Medicine– Medicine (Human)– Nursing– Pharmacy– Public Health• Program-level curricula created by programs themselves- Accredited by specific discipline-specific bodies• The disciplines for each of the programs use evidence-based practice (EBP) 5Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   METHODS6Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   Two Phases of Coding and Mapping• Collected curricular documents • Created novel rubric from the collected documents• Coded the documents using the rubricReference for this phase: Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Carrigan EE. Identifying information literacy skills and behaviors in the curricular competencies of the professional health programs. JMLA. 2020;108(3). doi:10.5195/jmla.2020.833• Coded updated curricular documents and added accreditation documents • Curricular documents mapped to the steps of EBPPhase 1:2017-2019Phase 2:2020-20217Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   Updated Rubric for Phase 2Nine categories were identified from the curricular documents:Coding Categories1. Clinical Skills2. Communication skills/human interaction3. Didactic knowledge and understanding4. Ethics5. Information seeking behaviors and skills6. Leadership/professional7. Legal awareness, organizational awareness, and advocacy/ethics8. Statistics, experimental design, understanding, or application9. OtherNew Categories8Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   RESULTS9Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   Changes in Co-occurrence of Information Seeking Behaviors by Rubric Code• The distribution of co-occurrences of information seeking behaviors shifted across the three professional programs with updated curricular documents.10Curricular documents from programs1 10010012Medicine Nursing Public HealthCo-occurrence of Information Seeking Behaviors by Communication by College Competency10012 B) Communication4351520123456Medicine Nursing Public HealthCo-occurrence of Information Seeking Behaviors by Clinical by College Competency24012345 A) Clinical04601001234567Medicine Nursing Public HealthCo-occurrence of Information Seeking Behaviors by Legal by College CompetencyD) Legal1 10122390 010246810Medicine Nursing Public HealthCo-occurrence of Information Seeking Behaviors by Didactic by College CompetencyC) Didactic350246Pharm VeterinaryMedicinePharm VeterinaryMedicinePharmVeterinaryMedicinePharm VeterinaryMedicineWaltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al.

EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   Examples of Information Skills and Behaviors in Accreditation DocumentsAccrediting BodyLocal Program Accrediting document statementLCME MedicineCritical Judgment/Problem-Solving Skills - The faculty of a medical school ensure that the medical curriculum incorporates the fundamental principles of medicine, provides opportunities for medical students to acquire skills of critical judgment based on evidence and experience, and develops medical students' ability to use those principles and skills effectively in solving problems of health and disease. CEPH Public HealthFoster an educational climate that supports program students, graduates, and faculty in their pursuit of  life-long learning• The scope of accrediting documents used by local professional programs varied widely across disciplines.Two illustrating examples of information skills and behaviors in different accreditation documents:15Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   CONCLUSIONS16Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   Informing Instruction and Other Support• Identify additional places for liaison librarians to support instruction– Additional instructional opportunities– Informs collection development•Use the affective/cognitive domains to develop, or modify, learning objectives and goals that are tailored to programs’ curricular and accreditation documents– Framed within the context of the 5As of EBP17Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al. EAHIL 2021 Presentation; Medical Sciences Library, Texas A&M University   Conclusions• Information literacy continues to be present in all five professional programs’ curricular programs- In the updated curricular documents, analysis of verbs indicates a shift in the areas of information skills and behaviors that are being emphasized, aligning with the steps of EBP- These verbs also map to the Cognitive Domain (Bloom’s) and Affective Domain, which may help inform future instructional endeavors• There is little direct emphasis on the ask and acquire steps of EBP- The emphasis in curricular documents is implied- This implication may indicate the expectation of competencies developed prior to joining a professional program18Waltz MJ, Moberly HK, Pepper C, et al.
