Wikipedia:UCSF School of Medicine


The School of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco and Wiki Project Med collaborate in presenting Wikipedia to health care practitioners, especially by encouraging medical students to edit Wikipedia as part of their coursework. This partnership began in 2013 as coordinated by Professor Amin Azzam, on Wikipedia as user:AminMDMA, and continues to the present (2016).

The School of Pharmacy at the University of California San Francisco began integrating Wikipedia editing into its curriculum in 2014. Professor Tina Brock as Wikipedia user:Tmpbrock, former Associate Dean of Global Health and Educational Innovations for the School of Pharmacy and now an adjunct professor at UCSF and Director of Pharmacy Education at Monash University and Dorie Apollonio as Wikipedia user:Health policy, lead pharmacy students in this effort as part of a required Health Policy course. Third year pharmacy students are assigned articles to edit from Wiki Project Pharmacology as a required part of their course. This capitalizes on skills from a prior required course in medicines information that all pharmacy students take in their second year.
