Medicine
This is a Wikiversity content development project where participants create, organize and develop learning resources about medicine. Please read the Wikiversity medical disclaimer.
Medicine is the art and science of the causation, diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury. It is both an area of knowledge – a science of body systems, their diseases and treatment – and the applied practice of that knowledge. However, medicine often refers more specifically to matters dealt with by physicians and surgeons.
= Overview of the Wikiversity School of Medicin
The aim of school of medicine
- Provide learning materials and advice primarily not exclusively,
- Enhance knowledge and skills of medical students.
Learning Outcomes
Each specialty achieves the following learning outcomes:
Knowledge
Skills
- History|taking
- Examinations
- Interpretating Investigative Imaging and Data
- Proficiency in OSCE examinations
Case-based learning combines knowledge and skills to give an overall competent approach to practice medicine.
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 although they overlap significantly, the learning outcomes are best achieved when learning each system-based specialty by its own.
Divisions and Departments of the School exist on pages under "topic" Namespace. Start the name of departments with the "Topic:" prefix; departments reside in the Topic: namespace. Departments and divisions link to learning materials and learning projects. Divisions can link subdivisions or to departments. For more information of schools, divisions and departments look at the Naming Conventions.
