Group Discussion
1. About what do medical schools, hospitals,
and health professionals care?
2. How can you use this to better communicate
with them as customers and partners?
3. How can you use this information to inform
your role or job description at SPHMMC?

and how to integrate it with the institution to
make the best use it to improve health.

Closing Remarks:
Discussion
How can we make SPHMMC a model for
librarians and technology staff at other medical
schools in Ethiopia? How can we make it a
destination where the NMEI schools want to
send their staff to learn about the best, most
effective and efficient way to design technology
for medical education, research, and care?
