Picketing doesn't just take place on the streets! DFA has a team of virtual picketers working behind the scenes, blogging, researching, cataloguing photos, monitoring media, writing thank you letters, tracking donations ... the list goes on! Shout out to all! #KeepDalStrong

DFA proposed a $500/yr increase in the Health Spending Account. About 60% of DFA members max out this benefit - the increase would cost @DalhousieU ~ $300k/yr. Yet, the Board wouldn't discuss it. Dal has saved $5.6 MILLION during this 2-wk lockout. #keepdalstrong

I should be delivering the medical library orientation right now but I am #lockedout by @DalhousieU. I wish I was teaching med students that libraries & DFA librarians provide equitable access to health info resources & research support across all campuses. #keepdalstrong
Welcome, Dal Med Class of 2029! This is the beginning of your journey into the study of medicine—and we’re thrilled to have you join us here at Dalhousie. Here’s to curiosity, compassion, and the incredible impact you’ll make. #DalMed2029 #FuturePhysicians

Hmmmm, with 1000 faculty forced to the picket lines, locked out for a week, and the @DalhousieU Board refusing to come back to the bargaining table, how will the Fall term roll out?

This feels like a flag that is a must have for most #MedEd scholars who are conducting their first knowledge synthesis (aka, "review") article! 🤣 @LaurenMaggio @drjfrank @sherbino @LaraVarpio @debsimpson3

What a pleasure to have this conversation w/ my collaborators & the hosting journal editor about this project to put review methods resources in the hands of researchers and MedEd/HPE decision makers. Can’t wait to listen!
Gail M. Sullivan, MD, speaks with the creators of our Literature Review Series, @rmnparker, @ammacleod, and @LaraVarpio about the need for understanding reviews and why there might be a better approach to your #MedEd question than a systematic review https://t.co/ZuOxCyvT0W

So pleased to see this out in the world! Now I can properly cite it when I use the very helpful figure created by @LaraVarpio.
You're gonna wanna add this @JournalofGME article about how to choose the right literature review to your reference file. It's fantastic! #MedEd @LaraVarpio @ammacleod Understanding the Differences That Differentiate: A Model for Deciding Which Literature Review to Conduct

#MedicalLibraries and their staff are essential for supporting the work of #healthcare providers. So why are we imposing cuts on them? By @AmandaRossWhite @jessiemcgowan

Medical libraries and their staff are essential for supporting frontline workers. But they're currently under threat.

My favourite week! (In my profession life anyway) Such a pleasure to teach and learn with you and the other instructors and participants!
It is Evidence Synthesis Institute Canada week. And having a group of ES-loving librarian instructors to banter with, before and after, each day is the best! Also, being able to spend 4 days teaching and learning about Evidence Synthesis is such a pleasure. #ESICanada

Simple tips for as a new wave (possibly) picks up steam in the US and Europe, as well as the possibility of a new variant outside of the Omicron family that may challenge our collective immunity (BA.2.86). Main points: 1) Be ready to identify (with rapid tests), and then treat

Pleased to see this work published. We need visibility and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ health now possibly even more than when we started these projects back in 2017 or so (see our guide here: https://t.co/SmcgQM93LU).

Powerful call to action by Prof Jimmy Volmink. For an organisation focused on reducing bias, much more is needed to address systemic & structural racial (and other inequities) bias in science and research #CochraneLondon

No regrets! Especially when a PhD student participant said their first stop when embarking on a new review is to talk to their librarian. #medlibs #ukmedlibs #canmedlibs

Couldn’t resist sitting in on a KS workshop at #AMEE2023 offered by @thorsley_handle & @LaurenMaggio, a couple of experts in the field #knowledgesynthesis scholarship. I know I’ll learn about ways to teach this topic!
