Wiki Echo

The cost of medical text books can be prohibitive. A quality text book on echocardiography like
Feigenbaum's costs more than a month's salary for a medical resident in the developing part of the world - not to mention the budget of a medical student.

Medical Wikis can be a powerful tool to bridge this divide and a Wiki on cardiac sonography can be quite useful to physicians, cardiac sonographers, medical students, residents and fellows alike.
The use of medical Wikis can be a powerful tool for physicians in practice, fellows, residents, and medical students. A community of medical providers from all over the world discussing and publishing on medical related topics will become an invaluable resource for a physician in the future.

There can be a lot of obstacles to overcome including:
1. Building a community of users who will regularly contribute to the wiki.
2. Keeping the sites free of vandals, advertisers and spammers.
3. Ensuring that patient confidentiality is not compromised whenever any cases are published.

We aim to surmount all this and publish high quality articles on different aspects of echocardiography.
