View a TEDx Talk by Dr. Gibson about WikiDoc here

WikiDoc is a community of volunteers who are dedicated to the free distribution of up to date medical knowledge in the absence of pharmaceutical or device company support. Launched by Dr. C. Michael Gibson of Harvard Medical School in late 2005, WikiDoc is the first and largest wiki dedicated to medicine on the Internet. WikiDoc is kept up to date by over 7,000 collaborators around the world. The content has now been updated nearly three quarters of a million times.
