A day in the life of third-year medical students: using an ethnographic method to understand information seeking and use.

CONCLUSIONS: Some of our results align with those of other recent studies of information use among medical students, residents, and practicing physicians. In particular, the fast-paced clinical setting favors use of information resources that are fast and easy to use. We demonstrated that the methods used are suitable to better understand clinicians' discovery and use of information. PMID: 28096741 [PubMed - in process]
