Navigating Health Information: Adapting to a Rapidly Changing Ecosystem

Today’s Health Information Challenges 

Our information ecosystem is complex with many contributors who can rapidly disseminate their content with a single click. Quality information is essential for good healthcare decision-making. How do we teach students the skills to both assess and navigate this rapidly changing ecosystem? What other types of research and evidence should we build our skillsets to support? Where can we collaborate with interprofessional partners to help our communities build the resilience and skills they need to navigate this constantly changing environment?
