Clinical informationist (CI) is one of the current trends in the field of medical librarianship andinformation science. CIs are members of clinical care teams, and their main duty is to fill the gap inthe information needs of health‑care workers and patients using information sources. They need anofficial and standard education. This study aims to identify the educational goals and needs of CIs.To this end, a scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Item for SystematicReviews and Meta‑analyses guidelines. The ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Proquest (MEDLINE),Science Direct, Emerald, ERIC, Cochrane, and Library, Information Science and Technology Abstractswere searched. The Journal of the European Association for Health Information and Libraries washand searched for relevant studies. A total of 1026 studies were extracted, and 38 studies wereselected for the final review. The review resulted in identifying 18 goals in cognitive, emotional, andpsychomotor areas. Furthermore, the educational needs were identified in eight educational needsincluding research method and statistics, education, medical knowledge, information and librarianshipscience, clinical environment knowledge, evidence‑based knowledge, information technologies andsystems, management, and leadership. Although part of these educational needs can be met throughgeneral medical librarianship and information science education, further specialized education forCIs requires specific aims and curriculum. Thus, the results of this study can be the basis for futurestudies regarding the competencies of CI in order to provide a more precise and detailed curriculumbased on these educational needs.
