How to Use Digital Medic Content

We believe that access to health education is a human right, which is why all Digital Medic content is free to view and share.

Our content is licensed under two types of Creative Commons licensing: either CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 or CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Both licenses allow you to freely share Digital Medic content, subject to a few licensing terms (see below). The essential difference is that CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 does not allow content modification, and CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 does.

Because we believe in open-free sharing of health education, neither of our licenses allow for commercial use — you should not use this content in programs that you charge learners to access.

If you come across any content of ours that you would like to modify or if you have any questions about how content can be used, please email us at digitalmedic@stanford.edu.
