The ever increasing need of health professionals for information and the inclusion of active learning experiences in the medical school curriculum require that students learn the effective use of health information tools. Curriculum integration is gaining acceptance as an effective approach to teaching information skills in this setting. At the University of Miami School of Medicine, information skills components taught by library faculty are integrated into the Freshman Orientation Program and two sophomore curriculum courses. Beginning with a core set of skills and basic information management tools, more complex and subject-specific skills are introduced sequentially throughout the basic sciences curriculum. During the first two years, a wide range of information skills are taught, and students receive many opportunities to seek and identify information using both printed sources and computerized bibliographic databases. This paper describes how curriculum integration of information skills instruction was achieved and the many benefits of this approach. Included are a description of the information skills components, evaluation data, and future plans.
卫生专业人员对信息的需求不断增加，以及医学院课程中纳入主动学习体验，这要求学生学会有效使用健康信息工具。课程整合作为在这种环境下教授信息技能的有效方法正逐渐得到认可。在迈阿密大学医学院，图书馆教员教授的信息技能部分被整合到新生入学指导计划和两门大二课程中。从一组核心技能和基本信息管理工具开始，在整个基础科学课程中依次引入更复杂和特定学科的技能。在头两年里，教授了广泛的信息技能，学生有很多机会使用印刷资源和计算机化书目数据库来查找和识别信息。本文描述了信息技能教学的课程整合是如何实现的以及这种方法的诸多益处。其中包括对信息技能部分的描述、评估数据和未来计划。
