Medicine
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.
The Wikiversity School of Medicine aims to provide information and lesson plans for anyone who is interested in increasing knowledge and skills in this area
