Thank you for your interest in contributing to WikiAnesthesia! Your contributions are what allow this community to grow and flourish. Being a contributor will allow you to share your experience and knowledge with an international community of professional colleagues. Your contributions will help providers at the bedside and ultimately translate into improved patient care.

Resident Scholarly Activity
The American College of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires that residents participate in scholarly activities[1]. The nature of the scholarly work can include discovery, integration, application, teaching, and dissemination of knowledge. In addition, a resident's scholarly work must be documented and ultimately needs to be certified by the program director. In an effort to promote scholarly activity, and facilitate documentation of such activity, WikiAnesthesia tracks contributions and calculates the Contribution Score for each member.
Tracking Contributions
- WikiAnesthesia tracks each member's Contribution Score
- The Contribution Score is a heuristic that reflects both 1) the number of pages edited and 2) the size of those edits.
- In general, each contribution point translates into approximately 2 hours of editing time, but this can vary significantly depending upon the speed of the editor.
Scholarly Electives
Some residency programs offer "academic weeks" or scholarly electives. Contributing to WikiAnesthesia can potentially satisfy the requirements of these rotations. For documentation purposes, the following information can be provided:
- For a history of all contributions made, please go to: http://www.wikianesthesia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/
YOUR-USER-NAME - For a calculation of your overall contribution score, please see your User Profile.
- If you need an official certificate for a residency elective, please contact info@wikianesthesia.org
