The presentation included examples of questions and answers that assist medical students in brief summaries and board-style questions and provided examples.
Change happens in all library settings. Do you have the skills to manage change successfully? Learn the essential elements of creating a change management plan that can apply to any change, big or small. Thoughtful and proactive planning for change leads to success.
Collection Development Policies are essential documents in all libraries. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed library user behavior and, subsequently, collection decisions. All library staff can play a role in ensuring these policies are effective and support the library’s mission. Learn why and how to develop and influence your library’s CDP in the modern era.
Settlements from lawsuits against some of the largest companies at the center of the opioid crisis will generate over $50 billion over the next 18 years. Recently published recommendations from RAND advocate using funds to increase public awareness and patient access to nonpharmacological therapies, including chiropractic care. Attendees will explore a range of opportunities to leverage settlement funding to support non-opioid pain management in their communities, and position chiropractic as an upstream prevention strategy in the ongoing opioid epidemic.

Academic librarians are often called to teach one-shot and credit-bearing courses but often feel unprepared by the brief instruction they receive from their graduate programs. Librarians who feel confident as subject experts may feel unsure about who they are as teachers.
This presentation will go into the notion of teaching personas, including whether or not it’s important to have one and how to develop one that feels authentic. We’ll discuss tools teachers use to develop a persona and their drawbacks. There will also be the opportunity to share your own journeys to developing as teachers.
Chiropractors often boast about high patient satisfaction, good clinical outcomes, and “always” having been patient-centered. While evidence supports those claims, it is worthwhile for us to pause and ask, “what does it take to be person-centered?”, especially given a dynamic and increasingly complex 21st-century social and healthcare climate. As with all aspects of patient care, revisiting the behaviors, skills, and competencies relative to person-centered care through the lens of contemporary best practices can result in better quality, high value care for the communities we serve.
Chiropractic clinical internships at Northwestern Health Sciences University begin early in the program’s curriculum. It is a hands-on learning experience that enhances students’ technical and patient care skills. How this internship program was developed was presented.
Students enter professional healthcare programs (PHP) with varying degrees of proficiency in basic sciences content knowledge from their various undergraduate programs, preparation for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and different levels of clinical experiences. To adapt to possible gaps in knowledge from incoming students, PHPs offer different assortments of pre-matriculation and review materials. The idea is that these materials will bring the students to be on the same page when they start the program (through pre-matriculation materials) and throughout the curriculum (through review materials). These materials are even more important this year, with students coming out of the COVID pandemic which disrupted their learning in different ways leading to even greater knowledge gaps coming into PHPs.
