Download our app! This allows free access to all our content even when there's no Internet. There are versions in other languages and for systems other than Android.

Welcome to MDWiki, the home of Wiki Project Med Foundation and our efforts to develop and distribute offline medical content (apps and IIAB).

Our goal is to make clear, reliable, comprehensive, up-to-date education resources and information in the biomedical and related social sciences freely available to all people in the language of their choice, online and off. While we are working on resources for all people, we are particularly interested in developing material useful for those in low and middle income countries.

MDWiki started in July of 2020 with content efforts involving further development of Wikipedia's medical content. This is being carried out by some of Wikipedia's historically most prolific medical editors.

We are a tax deductible charity in the United States and welcome Donations! Also we welcome movement members to Join at no associated cost.
