Exploring and fostering the clinical information seeking behavior of medical practitioners: A Study
Author(s): Anjuma Saikia & Prof Ranjeet Kumar Choudhary
Abstract -The present study aims to provide insight into information-seeking behavior among medical practitioners in the Lakhimpur district of Assam, followed by an emphasis on medical practitioners’ skills in using online platforms to satisfy their information needs. The random (purposive) sampling method was used to collect the required information. Many research studies have been conducted in the past on information-seeking behavior among faculty and students as the primary research topic. However, a review of the literature revealed that just a few studies have been conducted on information-seeking behavior among medical practitioners in govt setup and private setups as a primary focus. Consequently, this research contributes new knowledge to this less-explored area of research. The Paper concludes with suggestions to strengthen the information-seeking behavior among medical practitioners.
