'''[[w:Medicine|Medicine]]''' is the art and science of the causation, diagnosis and treatment of [[w:disease|disease]] and [[w:injury|injury]]. It is both an ''area of knowledge'' – a [[w:science|science]] of [[w:body|body]] [[w:organ system|systems]], their diseases and treatment – and the ''applied practice'' of that knowledge. However, ''medicine'' often refers more specifically to matters dealt with by [[w:physician|physicians]] and [[w:surgery|surgeons]].

= Overview of the Wikiversity School of Medicine =

The aim of the school of medicine is to provide learning materials and advice primarily, but not exclusively, to enhance the knowledge and skills of medical students.

== Learning Outcomes ==

For each specialty, the following learning outcomes will be achieved:

Knowledge
*Anatomy
*Physiology
*Diseases and conditions
*Medical and surgical treatment options

Skills
*History taking
*Examinations
*Interpretating Investigative Imaging and Data
*Proficiency in OSCE examinations

==Divisions and Departments==

The divisions of the school are created in such away that anyone accessing the school can find accurate and precise information quickly and efficiently.

Medicine comprises various specialities and, although they overlap significantly, the learning outcomes are best achieved when learning each system-based specialty on its own.

Divisions and Departments of the School exist on pages in "topic" namespace. Start the name of departments with the "Topic:" prefix; departments reside in the [[Wikiversity:Namespaces|Topic: namespace]]. Departments and divisions link to learning materials and learning projects. Divisions can link subdivisions or to departments. For more information on schools, divisions and departments look at the [[Wikiversity:Naming_conventions|Naming Conventions]].
