Keynote Presentation: Dr. Carol Agomo
Title: At the Boundaries: Forging Connections That Make Better Health Possible
Synopsis: Better health depends on the connections we make. Medical librarians help make those connections possible, often in ways that reach far beyond the library. Drawing on my experience in community engagement and health research, I will explore the role of “boundary spanners”: people who work across disciplines, institutions and communities to build trust, create shared understanding and help knowledge inform action. The keynote will invite attendees to recognize that role in their own work, reconnect with the people and purposes their expertise serves, and consider the connections they can forge to support better research, informed care and healthier communities.
