>or experience in health sciences librarianship and biomedical
>informatics. The trainees will gain a broad knowledge of the activities
>performed within an academic health sciences library and enhance their
>understanding of the current development and application of information
>technology in health care practice, education and research. An extension
>of the program this year specifically invites applicants interested in
>the areas of molecular biology and genetics (bioinformatics). Funding
>for the program is provided by the National Library of Medicine and the
>Health Sciences Library System.
