Season's Greetings from the WikEM Team!

WikEM JC

Our newest initiative allows students, residents, and physicians to contribute to the evidence based practice of Emergency Medicine. Every month WikEM will feature a journal article for review. After the review, questions will be added to the article to reinforce learning. The success of the JC depends on everyone to contribute. For December, we are reviewing the PERC Validation Trial.

Referencing
We added referencing and automatic footnotes.

Author Contributors

All contributors to a wiki page are credited in the Authoro section at the bottom of all articles.

Contribution Scores

We now rank contributors to highlight our lead editors and writers.
