An extensive list of courses and events that map to the eight HLA Competencies are now available Many can be done anytime online
Useful to progress from:
A health librarian caterpillar 🐛, to
A fully-fledged beautiful health librarian butterfly 🦋
Less entomological but also useful if you are completing the Health Specialisation PD Scheme
👉 note – participating in this scheme requires ALIA / HLA Membership
Thanks to Mr Darcy (Stephenson) (Austin Monash Health Library) for compiling the list
If you find any useful courses / events that are not on the list, send Darcy an email
Somewhat similarly, if there is an professional development area that you think is a bit neglected, send an email to Angela Smith for consideration as an HLA event so we can all improve our skills
