Health Sciences Librarianship

Applications are now being accepted for the new post-master's certificate program in Health Sciences Librarianship, which addresses the national need for advanced education for librarians and information managers in the health sciences. Highly qualified health sciences librarians are needed as the health care industry focuses on evidence-based medicine that is based on the rapid translation of basic research discoveries into clinical care and disease prevention. The 15-credit Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) provides a focused curriculum and is offered online — lending flexibility to working students. The CAS in Health Sciences Librarianship is offered through a partnership between the iSchool’s ALA-accredited Library and Information Science program and the world-class Health Sciences Library System at the University of Pittsburgh.  The development of the program was funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Learn more.
