In order to navigate this information, librarians often engage with these students, usually in their didactic phase of education; however, the way students use information clinically may not be the same as the way they learn to do so in the classroom. This study investigated the information practices and experiences of health professions students early in the clinical phase of their education, in order to answer the following research questions: What are the information practices of health professions students at the transition to clinical education? How do these students understand how their practices have developed over their education?\u00a0 Methods \u2013 A purposive sample of learners from six health-focused professional programs participated in individual in-depth interviews, created timelines, and completed follow-up diary entries. The data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.\u00a0 Results \u2013 Students\u2019 information practices are characterized by three themes. They are motivated to build competency to provide patient care; they operate in dual roles as student and clinician; and they navigate ambiguity, uncertainty, and doubt. They were able to describe the way they experienced information, problems they solved, and the development over time. Taken as a whole, this describes student experience with information as a method of making meaning from previous experience and learning with a focus on applying what they know and learn to improve patients\u2019 lives and health.\u00a0 Conclusion \u2013 Insight into these students\u2019 practices, including affective and social domains of practice, can inform librarian-led instruction and outreach within health professions and other professional programs.
