Introduction
PBL Case
Introducing students to information retrieval and management (IRAM) skills is an important goal of the UCSF School of Medicine curriculum.
The Case of Toby Ettinger 28-year old male
Resources Recommended by Librarian
Examples of Learning Issues to Explore
Cough productive of clear sputum with flecks of
Purpose The purpose of this poster is to describe an approach to teaching IRAM skills to preclinical medical students through a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum.
blood, worsens to frank blood
List a broad differential diagnosis for hemoptysis
Smokes 1.5 packs a day, started at age 14
Inquire about health related behaviors including
Admits to cocaine use, couple of times
smoking and illicit drug use
Fails treatment for pneumonia
Student Response All students (n=6) in the observed PBL group found the IRAM information helpful and timely.
Online textbooks and databases Available via the UCSF Library’s online databases collection
Student Feedback We learned about some helpful resources that we weren’t aware of.
Describe the relation of hemosiderin laden macrophages to hemoptysis
Strategies Reviewed with Students Learning IRAM skills makes searching for information more efficient by using better search strategies.
Using AccessMedicine to find Differential Diagnosis Information Examples of Students’ Answers
Methodology
“I would effectively rule out hemoptysis due to cocaine toxicity.”
Examples of IRAM Skills
As a pilot project, a librarian then observed a small group discussion of a two-session PBL case.
Between sessions the librarian monitored the student online discussion board and identified resources students used to answer PBL learning issues.
The Library should present IRAM skills after students have had an opportunity to struggle over their first PBL learning issues on their own.
“Following the definition of pulmonary hemorrhage, whatever Toby has is a subacute or chronic process.”
Education librarians, faculty, and students met to discuss IRAM objectives structured to meet defined student competencies.
Discussions addressed the relevancy and timing of introducing and developing students’ IRAM skills.

“Toby is suffering from something more than community acquired pneumonia, likely Goodpasture’s Syndrome.”
“Hemosiderin laden macrophages in the lung indicate the presence of current bleeding or bleeding within the last two weeks.”
The Library workshops taught in large groups in the first few weeks of MS-I were presented too early.

The librarian’s notes should be posted to the group’s discussion board and shared with the rest of the class.
Conclusion Using the PBL process to introduce students to IRAM skills may be an effective way to ensure timely application and retention of IRAM skills. Searching STAT!Ref for Clinical Consultation Information
During the second PBL session, the librarian presented students with recommended strategies and resources specific to their learning issues.
