Organization of the Wiki
The articles in this wiki are organized according to disease state, like cirrhosis or atrial fibrillation, and are grouped together by specialty. To find information on a particular disease, search for the name of the disease in the box to the left.
If you are a student in a particular clerkship or in a basic science course, feel free to explore by medical specialty or course topic. The various specialties and course topics are listed below.
Many terms are also linked directly to their definitions at the NetDoc medical dictionary.
Core articles
The core articles of this Medical Wiki were written for studentdoc.com by Dr. Jeff Waggoner, a family practice physician in the US for over 30 years, and a regular contributer to medical sites including NetDoc.com.
