Description:

I this course, you will join the community of Wikipedia editors. In collaboration with WikiEdu and WikiProject Medicine, you will select a medical topic to add to, edit, or create. The average page view for these pages are 50k page views per month. As such, you're engaging in global health and your work will be translated into over 120 languages! It is important to remember this project is not about the length of your work - it is about the quality of the information. Wiki is a crowdsourced encyclopedia so only secondary literature may be used and we're looking for clear, plain language statements that come from recently published (less than 5-10 years old) high-quality evidence.
