Explain Medicine is a quick reference for medical professionals.

If you are a practicing physician the articles should provide a rapid refresher; if you are a student you will very likely find them to be great for rapid revision.

All facts are directly backed up by a citation to either a paper in a peer-reviewed journal or a chapter in a standard textbook so as to establish credibility and facilitate further reading as necessary.

Note:
-------
Explain Medicine is an ongoing and constantly evolving project; the 700+ articles currently available have been created by a team of over 100 doctors.

If you are a medical professional yourself and would like to join the team please do take a look at http://www.explainmedicine.com/about.php
