Health Sciences Library Hosts MCMLA 2017

October 9-11, 2017, the librarians from the Health Sciences Library hosted the Mid-Continental Chapter of the Medical Library Association (MCMLA) annual conference, at the Tiger Hotel. Some conference highlights included:

  • Two posters were presented by library staff, with one winning the award for Best Research Poster.

  • We had two wonderful speakers who gave insights into research at Mizzou:
    • Rebecca Johnson, PhD, RN, FAAN, FNAP, Professor of Veterinary Medicine and Director of the Research Center for Human Animal Interaction, spoke about how health and wellness of humans and animals are connected.
    • Lise Saffran, MPH, MFA, Director of Mizzou’s MPH Program, spoke about how art and literature in the public health curriculum develops empathy among clinicians.
      .
  • It was the 50th Anniversary so we, of course, celebrated with a photo booth and Mizzou Tigers
