Re: [Education-collab] Why Medical Schools Should Embrace Wikipedia

Yes, that's the collaboration at the UCSF <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:UCSF_School_of_Medicine>. And if any academic institution is interested to collaborate with us, this might help <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns/Wikipedia_%26_Medicine:_Practical_Details_for_Educators> . Also, it so happened that just today I hosted Dr. James Heilman (a.k.a Doc James) for a talk about Wikipedia & Medicine as part of my Wiki-Med course at Tel Aviv University <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Tel_Aviv_University> (which opened the same year as the collaboration with UCSF - 2013, if you're curious :)). The Video of our session is here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCP68Ir46iM&t=3682s>. I just sampled it and for some reason there's an annoying echo, so if that's too annoying, you can listen to last year's session <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH1fN4Ryq2U>, which was similar, though not identical (no echo after the beginning.. :)). Finally, it also so happens that we are in the process of election now at the WikiProject Med Foundation <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Project_Med>, a non-profit that supports all sorts of Wikipedia & Medicine. You can also join our FB group <https://www.facebook.com/groups/1146703935372290/> and if you wanna become members, please fill out this membership form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfd7NF_XL9QQfNh0Vl096uVICjH4fEtsSprGdNwG6kDQwejfQ/viewform> and this voting form <https://goo.gl/forms/fgzlEujbhLNCTvBt1>. I happen to be the membership secretary (and soon a board member), so I'll expedite your membership request. :) Happy to answer any questions about any of this. Cheers, Shani.
