Welcome to the WikiProject Medicine. The purpose of this project is to help editors assess and prioritize medical articles on Wikipedia. Category:Medicine is a broad field; while there are always articles that need improvement, there are some for which it is especially important to write a high-quality article. Both preclinical and clinical topics are welcome here. Feel free to add your assessment of unrated articles, and to update the status of articles that have improved (or degenerated). You may even create your own list, although it's probably best to bring it up on the talk page. Thanks to WikiProject Chemicals and WikiProject Anti-war for inspiration.

This project aims to assist with prioritization and collaboration (it also hosts the Medicine Collaboration of the Week). It is the "parent" of two WikiProjects, WikiProject Clinical medicine and WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. Guidelines for and discussions of relevant articles can be found at those projects.
