Bio
Elizabeth A. Garfunkel
Julia is an excellent librarian. I could always count on her to help me find evidence based research articles to help guide our global initiative on medication abortion. She is very knowledgeable about reproductive health in particular, but her skills could easily be applied to any field. The library at Ipas was so convenient to use and full of relevant information. Besides her professional skills, she is always friendly and willing to help. A joy to work with!
Mary Fjerstad
Julia was an invaluable resources as I sought the most recent publications in many different areas of medicine and social science. She is extremely knowledgeable about searching databases to find relevant published information. I had to produce a 600-page Clinical Evaluation Review for a pharmaceutical device, and her knowledge and assistance was crucial to the final success of the endeavor.
