This site began in 2017 with a project integrated directly into the first year medical school curriculum at Queen's University. During the fall of their first year, undergraduate medical students edit Wikipedia articles as part of their required course MEDS 112 - Critical Appraisal of Research and Lifelong Learning (CARL). The course focuses on six main themes "1) Medical information literacy (searching and filtering reliable medical information), 2) Diagnostic tests and their properties, 3) research designs and methods, 4) Understanding the results of medical research, 5) Critical appraisal of medical literature, 6) Key learning strategies to foster effective educational and professional learning."
