Wikipedia:Wikipedia in Health Professions Education





Welcome to this toolkit for health professions educators interested in integrating Wikipedia into their courses. We're glad you're here.

This site is a resource for a community of HPE instructors who are interested in using Wikipedia and Patient Centered Outcome Research (PCOR) in their courses, whether it be for the first time, or as part of a lifelong professional commitment.

It provides basic resources for editing and disseminating content through Wikipedia, as well as links to a curated selection of published articles, brochures, Wikipedia resources, and videos to grow your practice for years to come. It also offers an introduction to PCOR as an exceptionally important source of research for including in health Wikipedia articles, given that the readership of these articles includes patients and their familiar, as well as health professionals.

This site is for you and by you. Your contributions are important and welcome!
