Medical students effectively learned to search medical literature using a progressive, integrated curriculum. This approach enhanced their ability to find and apply genetic information for patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Genetics
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Traditional medical curricula often lack integrated information retrieval skills training.
  • Effective use of medical literature databases is crucial for evidence-based practice.

Observation:

  • 313 first-year medical students accessed MEDLINE for biochemical genetic disorders.
  • Search behavior was analyzed using National Library of Medicine traffic files.
  • Skills were reinforced in pathology and consolidated in pediatrics.

Findings:

  • Students successfully learned to formulate questions, retrieve current information, and critically evaluate articles.
  • Computer-based MEDLINE access improved information retrieval skills.
  • Students perceived the integrated model as valuable for patient care.

Implications:

  • Integrating information retrieval skills enhances medical genetics education.
  • This model can improve students' ability to contribute to patient care through evidence-based practice.
  • Future medical education should incorporate similar information literacy training.
