Welcome to the WikiProject Medicine. This project aims to enable Wikipedians to cooperate, organize, make suggestions and share ideas on the improvement of the medicine and health-related articles of Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to join in this endeavor (regardless of medical qualifications!).
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on our discussion page (also known as the doctor's mess). You can also have a look at some related WikiProjects.
Many suggestions and guidelines have been developed since the project began. A particularly useful collection can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (medicine-related articles), which contains a detailed discussion of issues related to writing medicine articles on Wikipedia. However, these are only suggestions: they should help to give us focus, and inspire our contributions, but no one should feel obliged to follow (or even read) them. This WikiProject is not prescriptive. They should not distract anyone wanting to contribute from our main purpose: to write and improve medicine articles!
If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the list of participants (no strings attached!), or just look over the How you can help section below. Also of interest is the (featured) Medicine Portal associated with this project.
We hope you enjoy improving Wikipedia's medical articles,
-The members

To produce reliable and neutral information on medical conditions, diagnosis and treatment in a readable and standardized format. It aims to deal with these diseases in every context, from molecular biology, symptomatology and diagnosis to therapeutical issues and historical and geopolitical ramifications. To this end, the WikiProject will collaborate with other WikiProjects relating to the health sciences.

Task forces are groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the field of medicine. All project members are encouraged to participate in any task forces that interest them.
To propose a new task force, please visit Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine/Task forces.
The full list of project participants is located on a separate subpage. If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the list.
Featured articles are considered to be Wikipedia's very best work; they must pass through a review process as featured article candidates before being selected. Articles in bold indicate that the article has been featured on the Main Page on the date noted.
These articles used to be Featured Articles, but no longer qualify.
