Wiki is the way to go for Medicine

Wiki is the way

According to Peter Frishauf, founder of Medscape, something like Wikipedia For Medicine is The Future! "For readers, Wikipedia is a win.

• In traditional publishing, readers must wade through many articles on a subject, each written by a few experts, published at 1 moment in time.
• In Wikipedia you read 1 living article written by many, continually updated by many.
• Who needs 50 articles on avian flu when 1 will do? And Wikipedia content is often the best on the Web, which means the best anywhere.
• For writers, Wikipedia offers neither authorship, recognition, reward, nor punishment.
• Articles aren't indexed, but with Google and Yahoo!, who needs it?
• The motivation for writing is love of information and a desire to share it. I say a variant of Wikipedia for medicine is the future -- and it's good."

The vision of WikiMD is exactly that! I.e. To be a comprehensive and free source of medical information for all with articles on everything related to medicine and linking everything related to health on the internet. Join us in this unique effort and contribute to wikiMD.
