Abstract

Modern medicine cannot be practiced without the help of basic clinical knowledge. However, all that is available is payment based and restricted, and if ever there was a field in which one could benefit from free-access to trustworthy, high quality and up to date information, it would be healthcare. Wikimedica (http://wikimedi.ca) is a free-access platform created for this purpose which allows working clinicians and students to collaborate on the creation and the improvement of the knowledge essential to their professions.
