Introduction

Education and training in medicine, dentistry and veterinary science have changed significantly in the past decade, creating new challenges and opportunities for those with educational roles and responsibilities.

Literature searching can also be a challenge for educators in these fields, as you will be required to tap into the vast amount of research material available not only within your specialist field, but also in the fields of education, psychology, leadership, coaching and mentoring. It can be daunting to face so much information and make decisions about where and how to search, especially when we are juggling studies with work and family life. This guide will help you to make those decisions and steer you through the literature searching process.
