Would you like to help, but you're not really quite sure what to do? Have an hour free and want to try something different? WikiProject Medicine has many tasks that any editor can do. You don't have to be a physician or have specialized knowledge.
Edit articles
Adopt a stub! There are thousands of stubby medicine-related articles that have the potential to be excellent articles. Categories containing these stub articles are Category:Medicine stubs and Category:Stub-Class medicine articles. Add sources and information, and remove the ((stub)) template when it's no longer a stub.
Add high-quality references. Correct and reliable references are vital if the articles produced by this project are to be a verifiable source of information for our readers. Adding references is easy with this tool. Just submit the PubMed ID and copy and paste the resulting output (xxxx) into the page between <ref> xxxxx </ref> Alternatively, if you use Internet Explorer or Firefox (2.0+), then Wouterstomp's bookmarklet can automate this step from the PubMed abstract page.
Recruit members. Assist in public relations and outreach by recruiting editors interested in medicine to contribute to Wikipedia. Invite good editors to join us. See this section for handy message templates.
Tag the talk pages of medicine-related articles. Add ((WPMED|class=|importance=)), and assess the article according to our assessment scale.
