Associate Fellowship Program: Optional Second Year
The Associate Fellowship Program includes an optional second year at a library or information center in an academic health sciences center, hospital, or other health-related organization in the contiguous United States. The additional year provides an opportunity to develop skills and gain experience in working with administrators, librarians, health professionals, system developers, and educators to design and implement information services that are integrated with clinical and/or educational programs and contribute directly to accomplishing the parent institution's mission.
