Interested to see how she used it?\u00a0Here is her account:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The MLGSCA professional development grant allowed me to present at the Society of Teacher\u2019s for Family Medicine\u2019s [STFM] Medical Student Education conference in Phoenix.\u00a0\u00a0 My topic, \u201cLibrarian outreach to support retention and reward of community preceptors\u201d garnished more conversations, input and expansion ideas that I had envisioned.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the conference themes was the recruitment and retention of community preceptors so the offers of cooperation and connected integration were expansive.\u00a0 The integration of outreach services into a variety of existing School of Medicine programs was specifically hardily greeted. I was particularly interested in the doctors\u2019 candid expression of how they view librarians\u2019 roles within medical schools and clinical settings.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple sessions opened up ideas for future librarian support.\u00a0\u00a0 The area of nutrition in medical education is not a subject I would have thought about beyond teaching obesity, the food groups, and diet regimes.\u00a0 In turns out that there are several innovative programs that bring healthy cooking and pragmatic nutrition guidance into medical education.\u00a0\u00a0 One of these programs shows medical students how to make meals that are affordable, quick, and healthy.\u00a0 With obesity levels and related comorbidity at a high, these programs take our future doctors from lecturing to provision of pragmatic options. This also opens up community opportunities at all levels. On return, when I started to look into this I found that\u00a0 locally one program teaches \u201cat risk\u201d teenagers healthy cooking habits, another places a farmer\u2019s market outside of a hospital once a week.\u00a0\u00a0 These types of programs, when paired with medical students, also assist in creating connections and understand of the community outside the clinical setting.\u00a0 \u00a0Teaching with technology and new products are of course always a bedrock for librarians\u2019 curriculum involvement. While a couple of new products were showcased, enhancement and novel use of existing products led this category.\u00a0\u00a0 This served as a timely reminder of the counter productivity of stockpiling and implementing new products and teaching tools without investing in training and development time.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most important part of attending STFM was being able to be a part of internal innovation that was being formulated during the conference.\u00a0 Collaborating with my own faculty on ideas being newly formulated after each conference talk or poster session was priceless.\u00a0 That these ideas could then immediately be reviewed by those from around the country is the center of why conference attendance can be so important. So thank you to the MLGSCA Awards Committee and all those who support MLGSCA for providing me with one of the Professional Development Grants this year.\u00a0 In addition to the personal learning and collaboration the conference provided, I hope to share service improvements and new collaboration ideas beyond my own institution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiffany Moxham received the MLGSCA Professional Development Award.
