Medpedia and Incentive to Author

Just learned about a site called Medpedia.com that is intended to be both a deeper dive than Wikipedia provides on a medical topic and infrastructure for social networking, group forming, and discussions in the medical areas. The site is well organized and divides messaging and interfaces for laypersons, medical professionals, and organizations. For example, every article has a view in "Plain English" and a view in "Clinical" language that clearly draws the line between laypeople and those familiar with the medical vernacular.

Of special interest is that Medpedia has taken the stance that it presents an authorship and professional development opportunity for doctors and biomedical professionals. For example, see the various ways they are building recognition into their system and messaging.

This is a site to learn from.
