ABSTRACT: Developing a national collaborative of medical educators who lead clinical skills courses.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The majority of US medical schools now have pre-clerkship clinical skills (PCCS) courses. Course directors for these often logistically complicated courses may be in different medical specialties and, historically, have had few formal opportunities for communication and collaboration with their counterparts at other institutions. As such, we hypothesized that leaders

MANUSCRIPT: A student authored online medical education textbook: editing patterns and content evaluation of a medical student wiki.

Abstract The University of Minnesota medical student wiki (UMMedWiki) allows students to collaboratively edit classroom notes to support medical education. Since 2007, UMMedWiki has grown to include 1,591 articles that have collectively received 1.2 million pageviews. Although small-scale wikis have become increasingly important, little is known about their dynamics compared to
