Health Sciences Librarian 

Duties and Responsibilities: A health science librarian provides access to medical information through books, pamphlets, journals, tapes, multimedia presentations, and the Internet. Health science librarians help health providers, patients, and students sort through the vast amount of information available.

Salary: 58,000

  

Education: Students must graduate from high school, taking classes such as English, math, typing, and science. A four-year bachelor's degree is then required, including courses such as science and computer science. A master's degree in library science (MLS) is mandatory. Courses include scientific literature, bio-medical communication, bibliographic resource use, library organization and management, and standard cataloging systems. While health science librarians are not required to be certified, the Medical Library Association does offer certification examinations which would help a librarian advance to a higher position. 

Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

I wouldn't like to be an Health Sciences Librarian because books are not my thing.
