Sarah Cantrell, MLIS, AHIP-D, is the Associate Director for Research & Education at the Duke University Medical Center Library & Archives, where she is responsible for developing, implementing, and evaluating the Library's research and education programs. Sarah manages a team of five professional librarians as well as an intern; she leads the Library's evidence synthesis service and also contributes to the bibliometrics and research impact service; and she is the liaison librarian to the Graduate Medical Education programs.
Sarah possesses extensive experience conducting comprehensive literature searches in the health sciences for high quality evidence synthesis projects, such as systematic reviews. Since coming to Duke in December 2017, she has co-authored or consulted on well over 75 evidence synthesis projects and has worked as a consultant for the Veterans Affairs Evidence Synthesis Program in Durham, NC since 2018. Sarah also serves as adjunct faculty in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she co-directs a course entitled "Evidence-Based Practice for the Medical Librarian." Additionally, she is a co-director for Duke's national Teaching and Leading Evidence-Based Practice Workshop.
Prior to joining Duke University, Sarah worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where she established a clinical librarian program, providing real-time literature searches during rounds to answer clinical questions and supporting evidence-based decision-making at the point-of-care. While a medical librarian at Georgetown University's Dahlgren Memorial Library, she attended an intensive three-day training on systematic review methodology at the University of Pittsburgh which catapulted her interest in evidence synthesis work. Since that time, Sarah has continued her education through additional coursework, self-directed learning, practice, and peer review. She received both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
