Hi Bryan,
The Medical Library Association has set competencies for health sciences librarians for many years. The latest set can be found here:
https://www.mlanet.org/p/cm/ld/fid=1217
I encourage you to dig deep on these and the two textbooks edited by M. Sandra Wood for a better understanding. In the health professions there's a lot of attention paid to professional competencies and these reflect this view. Hope this helps!!
