Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, a podcast dedicated to current and aspiring intensivists. My name is Pradip Kamat and my name is Rahul Damania and we come to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Emory University School of Medicine. Today's episode is dedicated to optimizing your Pediatric Critical Care Knowledge and study skills by utilizing your medical librarian. We are delighted to be joined by Ms. Carrie Price a health Professions librarian. Carrie was formerly at the Welch Medical Library, serving the faculty, students and staff of Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. Ms Price is currently at the Albert S. Cook Library of Towson University in Towson, Maryland. Ms Price is an expert searcher with a strong interest in user-centered and instructional design, evidence-based medicine, and inter-professional education. Ms Price also maintains and updates a YouTube Channel with videos about citation management, searching, and evidence-based medicine. Carrie is on twitter @carrieprice78 Q1. Carrie welcome to PICU DOC on Call Podcast. Our topic today— Value of the librarian in PedsICU education and it is one of the first in our series of how learners can organize their study habits while rotating in the PEDS ICU. Carrie: Thanks Rahul and Pradip for having me on PICU DOC on Call podcast. I have no conflicts of interest or financial disclosures. Q2. Carrie tell us your story and how you came to be an expert medical librarian ? Carrie: I came into librarianship as a second career, after a first career in nonprofit development. I was fortunate to start my work in libraries at Johns Hopkins University, where I worked as a library assistant in access services while getting my masters degree in library science. During this time my mom was diagnosed with appendix cancer, a rare cancer, (she's okay now), and through the time we spent together in the hospital, I noticed there was a medical library in the building. I had this epiphany that librarians weren't limited by traditional career paths. From then I started focusing on health and consumer health classes. Later, at a work all-staff meeting, I literally bumped into the former director of the Welch Medical Library, and the rest is history! I applied for an open position, was hired, and started working at the Welch Medical Library in 2012. It has been an incredible experience. I am fortunate to work extensively with a number of departments and divisions at Johns Hopkins and now at Towson University, so my experiences have been really multidisciplinary. In the past I worked as a physical therapy technician, which was awesome and helped inform the knowledge I brought to the profession. I've taken a lot of professional development in the field. I just never stop learning, and I love sharing information on Twitter, YouTube, and on my website, which is http://carrieprice78.github.io/ (carrieprice78.github.io). This is such an amazing story! Q3: Carrie the practice of critical care medicine requires that learners in the Peds ICU remain current in their knowledge of the literature. Given an overwhelming amount of information out there how should these learners drink from that fire hydrant without being blown away? Carrie: I think that's an excellent question. Prior to the arrival of internet, most additional knowledge was acquired from physically going to a library and perusing through peer reviewed journals and textbooks. Now, things are digital and even "born-digital" — and there is so much information available online and on your phone.... I understand that given how much information is out there, a learner can feel overwhelmed and have difficulty trusting the information they see. That's why critical appraisal is a key part of evidence-based practice. Studies have shown the value of readily-available information in patient care and have highlighted the role of the library and librarian in support of clinical practice. In 1996 Sackett et al (BMJ 1996). defined...

Sarina Isenberg, interviewed by Ross Upshur, discusses palliative care from the lens of a scientist and health researcher committed to making a difference for those who receive such care in the course of their disease. Sarina’s first experience with palliative care was at a relatively young age when two loved ones were in palliative care in the course of their terminal illnesses. Later, her studies in health-related subjects landed Sarina in palliative care study and research, which is a subject area with great challenges in any health system in the world in terms of complexity, cost and degree of needed care. As mentioned in the podcast, palliative care is no longer limited to end-of-life care. The shifting face of palliative care, in light of the aging population in Canada, is a great opportunity for Sarina and others to research palliative care with the intent of improving access to, and the quality of palliative care. Sarina Isenberg is a Scientist at the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care and the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute (both at Sinai Health System), as well as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine – Division of Palliative Care at the University of Toronto. Her research has leveraged  varied health services approaches—both quantitative and qualitative—to assess access to and quality of palliative care,(1, 2) evaluate the cost effectiveness of palliative care inpatient services,(3, 4) and test interventions for improving advance care planning discussions.(5-7) Sarina’s ongoing work also relates to evaluating the cost effectiveness of home-based palliative care, assessing the patient and caregiver experience of receiving palliative care, transitioning across palliative care settings, and designing and implementing quality improvement initiatives in palliative care. Sarina’s central research goal is to apply a public health approach to palliative care research that is translatable to decision-makers, practitioners, patients, and their companions. Sarina has worked with knowledge users translating research into practice and policy through collaborations with Ontario Palliative Care Network, Veterans Affairs Canada,(8) the American Society of Clinical Oncology,(9) and the Agency for Health Research and Quality. (10) Sarina received her PhD in Social and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She has previously worked as a management consultant on Deloitte’s National Health Services Team (Canada). Prior to consulting, Sarina received her MA in English Literature from Queen’s University and her BA in English Literature from McGill University. Find out how she puts those humanities degrees to work in her role as a scientist in this podcast. Link to some of Sarina’s articles on PubMed, so far.  References in this article: 1.
