Library: Advocate Health Pledges: Build Next Generation Workforce

Build Next Generation Workforce

Advocate Health's Pledge: We will create new jobs and enhance career opportunities for our teammates.

Advocate Health is committed to advancing the career development of its teammates and preparing the next generation of physicians and advanced practice health professionals.

Librarians support learners with consultation and teaching on literature search strategy and evaluating information to support evidence-based practice. Learners can be residents, medical students or teammates working on an advanced degree. Classes are offered virtually or in-person to groups as well as one-on-one consultations. Our seven library spaces are a source for quiet study and provide access to computer workstations and electronic resources.

Scholarly Showcase

Advocate Health teammates contribute to building the next generation workforce through various projects, some of which result in publications and national or international conference presentations. The Library has curated a list of recent publications and conference presentations related to continuing education and workforce innovation from SHARE, our institutional repository.
