From Pamela Lewis Dolan, Physician wikis: Do-it-yourself
textbooks, American Medical Association News, May 7, 2007:
...Four cardiology fellows at the Cleveland Clinic
recently launched a Web site on a platform they believe
could be the medical textbook of the future -- the wiki....
At least 30 medical wikis have popped up, with topics
ranging from radiology to billing to rosacea. Most have few
contributors, but all have similar goals -- to create a
more vibrant, up-to-date conversation and library of
knowledge than can be found in a textbook or journal.
...AskDrWiki, modeled after the popular online
encyclopedia Wikipedia, was created as a place where a
group of cardiologists could share and exchange information
in a wiki format that could be accessed from anywhere.... |
