www.AskDrWiki.com is Launched

The use of medical Wikis can be a powerful tool for physicians in practice, fellows, residents, and medical students. A community of medical providers from all over the world discussing and publishing on medical related topics will become an invaluable resource for a physician in the future. There are several obstacles to overcome including:
1. Verifying that the information inputted into a medical wiki is based on scientific literature and is peer reviewed.
2. Keeping the sites free of vandals and advertisers
3. Building a community that will regularly contribute to the wiki
4. Ensuring that patient confidentiality is not compromised.

I hope to solve the problems above and work to make medical wikis an everyday part of our practice.
