WikiMD sysops

Who is behind WikiMD?

WikiMD is started by Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD with the aim of building a free open source medical encyclopedia and a wiki community for all medical issues. See the About page for more on this website.

Why a medical wiki?

It is found by various surveys that upto 60% of the people online have used the internet for accessing medical information. I strongly believe that a wiki provides a wonderful opportunity to provide upto date information and links on any topic of interest in medicine and be a wiki forum for discussions and for forming patient support groups.

Be a Sysop and administer this project!

WikiMD is currently looking for people interested in devolopping this project further and make this a lively wiki community on the internet. As this is a collaborative effort, it can be made possible only by participation from users like you! Remember that "when you cast your bread on the waters with faith, it will return one day back to you with butter on top of it". Wikipedia is started by 2 motivated people in 2001 and has grown to be one of the biggest websites on the planet with hundreds of thousands of useful webpages.

Upto 60% of people on the internet access medical information on the internet according many surveys. However, the information can be misleading, outdated or even wrong since there is so much information out there. No single human being or website can keep up with all the latest developments which can only be done by a world wide collective effort. WikiMD aims to provide a platform for people - be it medical professionals, patients, general public interested in health matters, so that they can interact with each other, share their ideas, write on what they know and let others improve on those ideas.
