What is "wikem"

WikEM, The Global Emergency Medicine Wiki is wiki-based website and point-of-care phone application for emergency medicine clinicians. WikEM initially started as a database created from notes and checklists passed from resident class to subsequent resident class at the Harbor-UCLA emergency medicine residency program. In 2009, WikEM was launched as a free wiki-based website and phone application that was universally available to all residency programs and global practitioners.

Emergency medicine practitioners have been quick to adopt smart phone applications, including WikEM, for use as point-of-care medical references. WikEM has been listed as a key reference for emergency medicine physicians, residents, medical students, nurses, and paramedics.
