Medpedia

Medpedia is the collaborative project to collect the best information about health, medicine and the body and make it freely available worldwide.

Physicians, health organizations, medical schools, hospitals, health professionals, and dedicated individuals are coming together to build the most comprehensive medical resource in the world that will benefit millions of people every year.

Medpedia aims to inspire a new generation of doctors, nurses, medical professionals, and patients by allowing unprecedented numbers of individuals the ability to contribute to the well-being of humanity.

The Medpedia.com website is currently under construction and will officially launch in late 2008. Preview sample pages. Medpedia.com is maintained by Medpedia Inc., a part of Ooga Labs, a technology greenhouse in San Francisco, and runs on Mediawiki, open source software which runs many wikis including Wikipedia. Like Wikipedia, the content created on Medpedia.com is freely licensable under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL).
