All Resources

One catalog page that scales as UCSF EARS grows. Filter by hub/topic, format, trust label, and language availability.

Language availability is partial on purpose. Many resources start in English and get translated over time. Use the language selector (top right) to choose which language link you want to open. You can also hide items that aren’t available in your selected language.
What do trust labels mean?
Trust labels show how far a resource has gone through clinician editing, clinical review, and translation verification.
AI Draft AI-assisted draft that has not yet had clinician editing. Useful for orientation, not a substitute for clinical advice.
Clinician-edited First pass by one clinician. Edited by a clinician for clarity, safety framing (“when to get checked”), and consistent routing across EARS.
Clinically reviewed Second pass by review team. An additional clinician has reviewed for medical accuracy and safety framing. This is the “English/source finalized” state.
Translation available A non-English version exists but has not yet been verified by a professional translator/medical interpreter. It may be AI-assisted.
Translation verified This language version has been reviewed by a professional translator/medical interpreter for meaning, tone, and medical terms.
External Links outside UCSF EARS. Use as a supplement; availability and update cadence are outside EARS control.
Tip: you can share a filtered view by copying the URL once your filters are set (query params update without reloading). Example: ?hub=devices&format=tool&lang=es
