Summary edit

This session is about enhancing the work done in the CEE in regards to medical content in Wikipedia & Wikimedia Projects and will include a presentation followed by a discussion and practical workshop. The presentation will familiarize attendees with what is already happening worldwide in relation to medical content, including a review of existing types of collaborations, available resources, best practices of involving medical students, faculty & researchers with Wikimedia projects and lessons learned from various endeavors around the world. We will discuss the medical translation project and new frontiers enabled by Wikidata. A short discussion on what could be done specifically in the CEE will follow, after which we we will conduct a short practical workshop that will give participants a taste of what they could do to get involved. For participants with a vast experience and successful collaborations with GLAMs and Educational institutions, this session aim to expand these collaborations to include working with medical institutions and harnessing medical students & faculty to work with our community. It will also allow participants that have been thus far less involved in outreach, some ideas and tools to get started.
