It was great to share news of the Minnesota Electronic Health Library (MeHL) with MnPALS today. The MnPALS consortium of libraries facilitates reliable and cost-efficient access to library resources for the benefit of their user communities - just like MeHL!
In our discussion, we learned how MeHL could benefit transfer students in Minnesota, who would be able to have continuity of access to professional-level health information as they move between programs.
What would this look like in practice? Health professions students who are completing 2 year programs will be trained on information resources that will also be available in 4 year schools. These same students will also have access to the same information resources after they graduate and move into practice. And when they begin practice, they will be working alongside other providers who have benefited from the same opportunity. That makes MeHL a win, win, win, win!
