Come together under the umbrella of information mastery to find and incorporate the best information based on the "usefulness of medical information equation." Stress the evaluation of information for a balance between three concepts: validity, relevance, and the time it takes to find an answer. Learn new skills that are necessary to optimize the provision of the right information at the right time and in the right situation. Analyze clinical information needs, learn new skills, and investigate new tools and resources.
