ABSTRACT
Medical residents are a distinct group of health sciences library users that need detailed instruction in literature searching. Core residency competencies from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education require that all residents be competent in finding, critically appraising, and incorporating the latest clinical evidence into their daily practice with patients. With the collaboration of the library and a clinical department of pediatrics, a program was developed that teaches residents the basic elements of EBM searching and then reinforces this learning over the course of three years.
