Departmental Liaisons

Library services are critical to the mission of the Penn State College of Medicine and Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center through the provision of current, necessary, well-vetted information. With the Liaison Program, library services are tailored to the specified needs of each department at the Penn State College of Medicine and Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
