Powstik Varsity

Build clinical skills under supervision.

Health & Medicine. Free health courses. A supervisor confirms each skill.

What you'll prove

What is the Health & Medicine Department?

It groups free courses on this subject, in order, as Powstik paths. You build something at each step and show it.

Who is it for?

It is for anyone who wants to learn a subject by doing it. You can start at any level.

What costs money?

Nothing. Learning on Varsity is free: courses, books and self-checks.

How does verification work?

A real person who knows your work signs in and checks each proof. You can never check your own proof. Your standing grows as more people check your work.

How standing works

Permanent and earned only from verified work. Never bought, applied for or handed out. Separate from the weekly team league.
