John W. Scott Health Sciences Library Resources and Services
Support includes “Introduction to Systematic Review” searching course, consultations and databases.
The John W. Scott Health Sciences Library works closely with the Department of Surgery, supporting research and providing instruction in Library Resources and Services.
It provides a suite of databases for literature review and an introductory searching session that helps researchers build their search skills and techniques in databases such as Medline, EMBASE, SCOPUS and others. The library offers search consultations to help students, residents.
It also has an asynchronous course called an Introduction to Systematic Review searching. This is a step-by-step 14 module course that is open access, so researchers can access it at any time from any place.

Resources for Clinical Researchers
The Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry provides strategic and operational leadership, and navigational support to researchers conducting clinical and translational research. It provides information on seminars and learning opportunities, resources and services, funding opportunities, research informatics, and frequently asked clinical research questions.
Information related to the use of health information in research, including guidelines for chart reviews and information about AHS systems that may/may not be used in research if there is not consent e.g. Netcare.
