To Do List

This project engages four partners, Queen's University, Icahn School of Medicine, Monash University and Western Michigan University, as demonstration sites. These teaching demonstration sites are disseminating PCOR research by training health professional students to appraise, translate, and embed PCOR results into Wikipedia.

Queen's University, Faculty of Health Science, School of Medicine, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

[edit]

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."[1]

Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai, New York, United States

[edit]

This site was started in spring 2014 by students at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as a club to edit Wikipedia health articles related to their studies. With the support of the WikiEd Foundation, the club has held edit-a-thons and holds meet-ups to support students, staff, and invited guests who would like to be involved with editing health articles.

Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

[edit]

This site is part of course offered to graduate pharmacy students at Monash University’s Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine, Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States

[edit]

This site is part of course offered through the biomedical sciences program at the Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. Students who have already completed their clerkships and are in their fourth year of medical school are eligible to take this elective course. The course works in partnership with WikiEdu and WikiProject Medicine, and has students select a medical topic to add to, edit, or create. The course focuses on adding information to Spanish Wikipedia articles or creating new articles in Spanish where gaps exist.
