A new wiki for medics

The Medpedia Project has launched a beta version of what it hopes will become the world’s largest online medical encyclopedia. Although the project has been driven by American Universities, many other authoritative organisation have signed up to the project including NHS Choices. The project aims to create a new model of how to assemble, maintain, critique and assess medical knowledge.
