Welcome toMDWiki, the home ofWiki Project Med Foundation and our efforts to develop and distribute offline medical content (apps andIIAB).
Our goal is to make clear, reliable, comprehensive, up-to-date education resources and information in the biomedical and related social sciences freely available to all people in the language of their choice, online and off. While we are working on resources for all people, we are particularly interested in developing material useful for those in low and middle income countries.
MDWiki started in July of 2020 with content efforts involving further development of Wikipedia's medical content. This is being carried out by some ofWikipedia's historically most prolific medical editors.
We are atax deductible charity in the United States and welcomeDonations!Join at no associated cost.

Differs from Wikipedia
The content efforts is to create medical content with improved multimedia interactability and for offline use. It differs from Wikipedia in the following ways:
- We encourage the inclusion of video, including video underNon-Commerical (NC) andNoDerivatives (ND) licenses. The latter are hosted atNC Commons. We only acceptCC BY SA,CC BY, andpublic domain text. Examples of articles using an NC image arehere andhere.
- Costs of medications are not only permitted but encouraged. And we include medication doses.
- We write for a general audience, with efforts to approach a grade 12 reading level, with the understanding that many of the people who use this resource may speak English as a second language.
- Editing is restricted to registered and approved individuals. The application process ishere.
- We have acode of conduct, thoughWikipedia does now as well.
- Paid conflict of interest editing is not permitted (disclosed or otherwise). Case by case exceptions may be made following discussion.
- We are open to innovation! The goal is to provide the best possible content for our users.
