The latest and greatest. Ish

So here's a discovery. I was having dinner with a friend who's a physician at Hopkins. One of the things that came up was the need for more QI studies and why librarians aren't involved in helping residents.

Um. Because.

So here's what I'm thinking about developing for NN/LM SE/A:

Raising your IQ on QI: Understanding Quality Improvement Studies and Getting Involved.

It'll be related to finding, analyzing, and evaluating QI studies and then what medical and health sciences librarians can do to get involved in QI.

Thoughts? Is this worth pursuing? I'm only in the initial phase in course development, but it may be something worth investigating further. Would other librarians want to attend this kind of class if it existed? I'm not sure... But if physicians and physician residents are asking for it, should librarians step up to the plate and help this community?

I think the demand is there. But I want to hear what others are hearing too.
