What are the prospects for a career as a medical librarian?
Employment of medical librarians is expected to grow as fast as average for all professions, increasing 8% from 2008 to 2018 (1). The growing population and expansion of the medical field will drive job growth. Job prospects should be favorable especially for medical librarians with extensive experience. Many job openings will arise from the need to replace medical librarians that retire, transfer, or leave the field for other reasons.
