Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Society and medicine task force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the society and medicine task force of WikiProject Medicine!

Welcome to this medicine task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice about editing, please ask at the WikiProject Medicine talk page, the centralized point for discussion. Thank you.

This task force intends to focus on articles that deal with the intersection between society and medicine that are already covered under WP:MED's scope. We aim to improve the quality and reliability of these articles, maintain the high standards of sourcing, and ensure that these articles are given the attention they deserve.

Any editors, qualified or unqualified, are encouraged to participate! (Drop a message on the talk page, or add your name below!)
