Today, as never before, the road ahead is filled with "learning curves". MLA strives to map your way through many of them by offering a wide range of professional development opportunities that allow you to obtain and strengthen core skills, to remain updated on new trends and
developments, to exchange ideas, and to acquire new skill sets that support and promote your additional role as leader, advocate, innovator, or researcher.

Overall, medical librarians, working in a variety of settings, do share many similar professional development goals, but the hospital setting can create its own distinct mix of "learning curves", opportunities, and barriers. In support of MLA's mission, the Professional Development
Committee of the Hospital Libraries Section wants to learn more about your specific professional development needs, goals, and preferences, so that we can create opportunities and an exciting
community where you can experience professional growth tailored to your individual needs.
