    Problem AddressedFamily medicine residency programs need to incorporate ongoing training in the CanMEDS-Family Medicine scholar role.Objective Of ProgramTo teach and reinforce evidence-based, point-of-care search skills in family medicine residents through involvement of a clinical librarian at morning report.Program DescriptionA clinical librarian session is run weekly during morning report while residents rotate through a family medicine-run inpatient unit. An evidence-based model emphasizing preappraised sources for point-of-care searching of clinical questions is introduced, and residents have an opportunity to answer their own clinical questions. Feedback suggests most residents find the sessions affect their practices positively and increase their use of evidence-based, preappraised point-of-care resources.ConclusionIncorporating a clinical librarian in evidence-based medicine sessions enhances family medicine residents' competencies in the CanMEDS-Family Medicine scholar role.Copyright © 2022 the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
