Exploring Our Future General session highlights papers that explore new services and programs being developed by health science libraries. This program will focus on building librarian competence in providing mental health information to consumers. Rather than focus on actual library resources, this session will be devoted to developing public service skills to meet the challenges of providing information to patients, families, and consumers. With the increase in international travel, there is also an increase in exposure to potential health risks.
Travel medicine focuses upon preventing health problems before they occur.
The invited speaker, Patricia Frye Walker, M.D., will address the general topic of training for international travel.
