Why Get a CHIS?<\/h2>\n

Librarians know the lifesaving and life-enhancing value of accurate evidence-based health information. By earning CHIS, you acquire skills and knowledge needed to become a confident, expert provider of health information to your community. Your CHIS shows employers, colleagues, and the public you serve that you are committed to offering quality consumer health information services and to staying current with developments in consumer health information resources, technologies, and services.<\/p>\n

Most NNLM classes and webinars offer CE toward CHIS. You can visit the page below to learn more:<\/p>\n
