Medpedia Site Preview

The goal of The Medpedia Project is to collaboratively build the living encyclopedia of health, medicine, and the body. The process of making the content and the site better is, by its nature, an ongoing one, and everyone is going to be invited to participate in some way in its evolution. Medpedia is a collaborative project, so giving your feedback and ideas is essential.

As a starting point for the Medpedia website, many of the top medical and health organizations around the world contributed seed content so that Editors would have something to work on when the site first opens up. If your organization has content to contribute, click here. Contributions at this early stage of Medpedia will result in your organization being listed in the Record of Merit.

Physicians and biomedical Ph.D.s from the U.S., Canada and the U.K. are currently working behind the scenes, formatting and interlinking this content in preparation to open it up to all Editors by the end of 2008.

Below you can see screens shots of some of the types of content that are coming in and will be available for editing at launch. It is expected that there will be hundreds of content types over time, including medical facilities, medical products, biographies of important individuals in the health fields, etc.
