Wikipedia:Training/core/Medical topics 3

Wikipedia has a detailed Manual of Style for medicine-related articles.

For student editors, two elements in particular can help avoid commons problems:
 * PMID references: for references to sources in PubMed, be sure to include the PMIDs within the citations. This ensures that other editors will be able to easily track down the sources themselves.
 * Recommended article sections: for the common types of medicine-related articles &mdash; diseases and disorders, drugs and devices, surgeries and procedures, signs and symptoms, elements of anatomy, medical tests, etc. &mdash; there are typical sections (in a typical order) that are recommended. For new articles, or expansion of existing articles, students should take these standard organizational patterns as starting points.
