A bit about me

I'm User:Doc James, previously known as User:Jmh649. In real life I go by James Heilman. I am a Canadian ER doc. I have been editing here since July 6th, 2008.

James Heilman, MD, CCFP-EM

P.S. My spelling and grammar are poor, so thank you for correcting them. If something I write is completely unintelligible, please send me a request for clarification.

COI

I am entirely a volunteer. My work on Wikipedia via this account is my own and does not relate to positions I hold at UBC, Interior Health, BCEHS, or the Wikimedia Foundation. Nothing I write or do via this account reflect the official position of any of the aforementioned organization.

I do not receive payment or travel expense reimbursement from the Wikimedia Foundation or its chapters, nor do I accept payment or honoraria for any other work on the Internet. In 2011, I accepted travel expenses of approximately $1,500 from the Canadian chapter of Wikipedia. In 2012 and 2013, I donated more than that amount to the WMF. I accept travel expenses from some non-WMF organizations at whose events I speak, but I have never accepted any payments from pharmaceutical companies. I have no financial conflicts of interest in regard to any subject that I edit.

I was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation in 2015 and from 2018 until 2021.

Lucas

In June 2015, I hired a part-time assistant (User:Lucas559) to help me with medical projects, including the translation task force, the copyright detection bot, supporting students enrolled in classes on which we collaborate, and fundraising for the Wiki Project Med Foundation. In order to avoid conflicts of interest, my assistant and I did not vote on the same discussions. A discussion about the creation of the assistant position may be found here. This position ended in August 2016.
