In recent years, the UCSF community has joined the rest of the world in putting their faces forward in various types of videos on YouTube and connecting with those with similar interests on social networking sites.
A quick search of UCSF videos on YouTube finds a plethora of pages of video offerings, ranging from a film celebrating the centennial of the UCSF School of Nursing to a video of Calvin Chou, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of medicine, who talked about the physical exam and bedside manner.
The global phenomenon of using YouTube and social networking websites has now moved into the realm of educational development.
