Not only do most of us make Wikipedia our first stop when exploring a new topic, turns out our medical professionals do, too. Dr. Amin Azzam liberates us from any feeling of Wiki-shame and points out the opportunity that this represents. “Wikipedia is the most multilingual part of the internet,” he explains and, thus, may be the perfect conduit for bringing high-quality medical information to every corner of the world. You can help make sure that’s the case by becoming a collaborator on WikiProject Medicine. The only thing missing is you!
