Health Science Librarian

Duties and Responsibilities: A health science librarian is responsible for organizing and the disseminating the information of biomedical and clinical information to the staff in a health care delivery or educational setting.  They allow the physicians and healthcare professionals to stay aware of any new discoveries and new developments in their profession. They will also be really close to the patient so that way if they desire to seek any authoritative health information. This could come useful to a person who is going to undergo a surgery that they know very little on.

Salary: The average salary is $65,000 a year.  

Education: To become a health science librarian you will need 6-10 years of additional schooling after high school. A health science librarian will need a master in library and information science degree. They must earn these degrees from schools that are ALA- accredited.  An undergraduate must earn a degree in any medical field but biology is highly recommended.

Demand: There is a 2% slower than average rate.

Reflection: This profession does not interest me at all. I think it would be better being a regular librarian would be better. I don’t think this is a good option for me anyways. I like to do hands on work and that will just bore me.
