PubMed: Efficient SearchingQuick:• Boolean (AND, OR, NOT)• Wildcard
(immun*=immune, immunology, immunize, etc.)
• Phrase (“immune system”)• Tags
[ti] =limit to title[tiab] =limit to

Use Controlled Vocabulary to Target Search
Try these MeSH terms about medical education topics:• “Education, Medical”[Mesh] – general articles on medical education• “Education, Medical, Undergraduate”[Mesh] – In the US, this is
medical school period• “Education, Medical, Graduate”[Mesh] – medical graduates in
specialty training or academic work in clinical or basic sciences• “Internship and Residency”[Mesh] - Programs of training in medicine
and medical specialties offered by hospitals for graduates of medicine to meet the requirements established by accrediting authorities
• “Education, Medical, Continuing”[Mesh] - educational programs to inform physicians about recent advances in their field
Note that searching this way increases precision, but eliminates the most recently-published articles from your results, because new articles may have not yet been tagged with MeSH terms.

How can a librarian help?
• Connect you or your learners with information you need for research or clinical questions
• Teach you how to navigate and search resources to find literature, instruments, curricula, etc.
• Help with EBM questions and instruction• Help with lit reviews, systematic reviews• Teach you how to manage resources (e.g., RefWorks,
EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley)• Show you ways to keep current with the literature• And more... just ask!
