•Built on existing relationship with Course Master

The opportunity came to us from Dr. Grant Cannon, who is the overall course master for a course titled Topics In Medicine. Over the past 7 years we have worked with Dr. Cannon to teach evidence-based searching skills to the medical students during their Ob/Gyn rotation and he wondered if we would be interested in working with the Pediatric rotation, possibly using handheld devices. We of course jumped at the chance.
