James Heilman, MD, CCFP-EM, Clinical Faculty member of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia (Clinical Assistant Professor)[2][3] P.S. My spelling and grammar are poor, so thank you for correcting them. If something I write is completely unintelligible, please send me a request for clarification. I am entirely a volunteer here. I do not accept money or honorariums for any efforts related to wikis, Wikipedia or the Internet. I do not and have not accepted any money from the Wikimedia Foundation or associated chapters in the last four years. This includes not accepting them paying for either travel or accommodation expenses. Prior to that I received about $1500 of funding for travel from the Canadian chapter. In 2012/2013 I donated to the WMF funds more than required to reimburse this amount.[4] I do accept travel costs for speaking events from organizations that can afford it other than the WMF. I do not and have never accepted pharmaceutical company funding. I do not have any financial COI with respect to the subjects I edit. User:Docjames is a different editor.

Therefore you may see multiple accounts working on similar medical content coming from my hospitals IP address. Main page: My inspirations "Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing the matter with this, except that it ain't so." Mark Twain We face a struggle between those who see our future as a technology organization supported by people versus those who see our future as a organization of people supported by technology. I am squarely in the latter camp. Wikipedia at its best is written one sentence at a time following the consideration of the available sources. The singularity is not near. Projects List of emergency medicine topics Tools Recent MED changes Quick lists Wikipedia and medicine ER reading Merchandise Staff Students Words I find inspiring It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.Theodore Roosevelt[1] I am a proud fighter for open knowledge.[2] Thoughts My test area Useful resources User:Doc James - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Doc_James[1/4/2017 2:13:53 PM] V · T · E · Stats GA review Template Resources diberri's tool, toolserver another Wikipedia:Template_messages Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr Great template {{reflist-talk}} Pageviews based on pagepile [6] Edit stats Other collaborative sources Journals Cited Pagviews newer, newer yet, and still newer views for images, pageviews for cat (includes mobile) [7], all languages g sheet cat pages All med edits My Barnstars Press NIH presentation pdf ppt WikiConference USA Presentation 2014 [8] Videos on why one should become involved with Wikiproject Medicine Presentation on Wikipedia and Medicine (feel free to reuse) Arbcom Heilman, James M.; Kemmann, Eckhard; Bonert, Michael; Chatterjee, Anwesh; et al.

It is important that we only use the best sources and that we give them due weight. Setting us apart from scientific papers we prefer secondary sources over primary sources. We'd rather cite a review article than an original trial. To get you started and to explain why this is important we have a number of guides and guidelines: WP:MEDRS WP:MEDMOS Reliable Sources Manual of Style WP:MEDCOI WP:MEDHOW Conflicts of Interest How to edit Our guides complement Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and take great care to explain why they are relevant.

Journal of Medical Internet Research doi:10.2196/jmir.1589 Wikipedia can be a great resource for getting to know a field — and it can give you an encyclopaedic overview of a subject, acting as a spring-board letting you dive deeper. It should however not be used as your only source when performing research, and you should never blindly trust Wikipedia. Over the years quite a literature has been amassed surround the reliability and biases of Wikipedia. To see some of the studies that have been produced on the quality and scope of medical information on Wikipedia take a look at some of the research: This list is incomplete. We try to keep the list free of bias, but encourage you not to take our word for it — so here are some suggested searches: PubMed: wikipedia, wikipedia AND medicine [ view module • edit ] WikiProject Medicine was started in 2004 by Dr. Jacob de Wolff as WikiProject Clinical Medicine with the later branch WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. These merged and WikiProject Medicine has since been one of Wikipedia's most active WikiProjects. WP:MED as it is known aims to manage and help in curation of Wikipedia's medical articles. We write articles and discuss all manner of issues on our talk page: WT:MED. Through the years we've built up a catalogue of sub-projects and task-forces which vary in their activity, you can find some of them at the task force page WikiProject Medicine is the English arm of an international community of Wikimedia medical projects — more of which can be found through the international WikiProject Med Foundation — on the Meta-wiki.
