This course allows students to develop skills in literature search and review as well as medical writing and editing. The course includes two in-person sessions: the first day for course orientation (November 18th) as well as an in-person final presentation on December 13th. Then students will work under the supervision of an MD and librarian to retrieve relevant information and edit their article to improve the quality of the information available to those accessing Wikipedia. Weekly progress meetings will be conducted in-person with an option to join via WebEx. Students’ work will be reviewed throughout the course.
