Program

1. Free does not mean poor: Improving health and medical information on the world’s largest encyclopedia

Have you read Wikipedia recently? Do your learners or trainees read Wikipedia? Do you want to disseminate your publications or the publications of your peers beyond your professional community? Wikipedia’s health and medical pages are accessed with more frequency than any other health information web site in the world, with disproportionate access from geographic areas where access to physicians, hospitals, or trusted government information is limited. If you have knowledge, you have knowledge to share. Join this workshop to learn how you can leverage your expertise to improve the world’s most popular source of health information.
