Modern information technologies are an integral part of our everyday life and also medical profession now. Internet is a rich source of information for medical doctors: online versions of selected journals or current versions of guidelines of various medical associations.
WikiLectures were originally created as an online database of educational materials for medical students. Nowadays, they also find more and more users among young medical doctors in training and other healthcare professionals.
Compared to similar projects, WikiLectures emphasise on the credibility of texts. It is possible thanks to feedback of readers, support of the editorial board and, at the highest level, supervision by university teachers.
