Admit it! You use Wikipedia extensively. Who doesn't? But do you use it for medical information? Your patients do! Wikipedia is now the most widely used medical reference in the world. This course will help you better understand the WP “ecosystem” including Wikiprojects, Translators Without Borders, and the offline Wikipedia health app.
Welcome to your Wikipedia course timeline. This page guides you through the steps you'll need to complete for this rotation, with links to training modules and your classmates' work spaces.
Your course has been assigned a Wikipedia Expert. You can reach them through the Get Help button at the top of this page.
