Clinical And Mobile Technology Support


Today I had a chance to meet with the Clinical and Mobile Technology Support librarian Mr. Mark Gentry. He had been working as a medical librarian for 23 years. His job is to get the clinical practice information out to the doctors and other health professionals. He uses technology such as computers, iPhones and iPads to transmit the Information. Mr Gentry teaches health professionals how to use the mobile device in their fields. He thinks that his job is important because he is one of the people who works to make sure the doctors get information faster, making jobs easier.

Today I learned that technology is making a great impact in the medical world. For example, last time I went to the hospital my doctor did not give me a prescription, she just asked what pharmacy I wanted to go to and sent the prescription to them. Technology is helping the medical field send information faster.
