A group of American medical schools is working on MedPedia, a project to collect and organize all medical knowledge in a Wikipedia-like form.

Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan, and Berkeley will kick off the site with initial content and work with the rest of the medical community to make it comprehensive. Access to MedPedia will be available to all, but editing rights will be limited to M.D.’s and Ph.D.’s in relevant fields of research.
