Medical schools partnering with new Web site
Heard of Medpedia?
The new Web site, which will launch at the end of 2008, is billing itself as, “the world’s largest collaborative online encyclopedia of medicine,” according to their recent press release.
The health care community is showing its support of Medpedia by contributing content to the site, including some notable medical schools, such as Harvard Medical School, Stanford School of Medicine, the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health, and the University of Michigan Medical School. Health organizations, hospitals, and physicians are also submitting information to the site.
According to the press release, Medpedia will have information for both the general public, scientists, and health care workers. Unlike similar sites, like Wikipedia, it sounds as though only select editors with medical backgrounds will be able to contribute information. There’s an application process for those interested in becoming editors. If that’s you, and you’re an MD or PhD then you should apply here.
Because the site has not formally launched yet, you can check out the preview site for more information.
