It's best to pick something you'd like to learn more about, so you can learn something as well in the process.

Process of Writing

 

How do I know what to write? Each page has a template, complete with main headings to be covered. While headings can be changed, we recommend you stick with our format for ease and consistency. Let us know if you have more questions about the template.

In order to simplify future updates and ensure accuracy, it is not necessary to give SPECIFIC treatment guidelines. Stick with general themes and provide a link to sources of guidelines. This way, students will know how to find guidelines as they need them, and the job of staying up to date can stay with the experts!

 

How do I know how much to write? Content should be aimed at the level of medical/nursing/pharmacy/lab tech/etc student - that is, foundational. Details are often unnecessary and in fact can detract from the learning experience. With all the information out there, the hard part is trying to distill details down to make the topic managable.

 

Where should I get materials from? Please don't plagarize; summarize, in your own words, what others are saying.

The text can come from any number of sources, including class notes, textbooks, or websites. Some helpful places to start include:

• Medpedia (similar to Wikipedia but written by doctors and professors)
• eMedicine

It can be incredibly helpful to provide photos and illustrations for certain topics. These can be created by you, taken from your clinical experiences (respecting patient confidentiality), or found online from the many Open-Access repositories that exist.

 

 

How do I reference? Identify the sources of your information. Ideally these are open-access sources that students can freely go to for more details. It is unnessary to pepper the article with references, unless you are quoting a specific fact or statistic.

 

 

How do I actually go about doing this? Start by reading our contract to make sure you agree with the terms.

Fill out the form at the top of the page and we will send you instructions within two days. We'll send you a link of an online page into which you can write the topic. The easiest is simply to author directily online, though if you'd rather, feel free to use a word processor and then cut and paste online when ready.

Email author @ sharinginhealth . ca if you have any questions.

 

 

What's in this for me? Lots of things! We're paying students 20$/topic they write. Your article will be peer-reviewed, and this can be helpful on the CV. Perhaps the biggest benefit is a solid understanding of the topic you're writing, and the knowledge you'll be helping others learn, too.
