2019 World Congress Wiki Edits Competition

Participants are asked to capture a screen shot before and after the edit or print copies of the material before and after the edits and scan them. The edits including references should be highlighted and submitted electronically via the link below. There will be four categories of participants: 1) all health professions students, 2) residents/fellows, 3) practicing healthcare professionals (sonographers, nurses, physician assistants, physicians, etc.), and 4) medical educators (clinicians, basic scientists, etc.).

A "best edit” winner will be selected in each category by the Wiki-edit review committee. The winners will have their edits announced at the World Congress on Ultrasound in Medical Education being held at UCI School of Medicine in Irvine, California, September 12-15, 2019. All winners will receive an award and have their registration for the meeting refunded or have their registration for a future World Congress paid for.

NOTE: The deadline for submission of your Wiki-edit is September 1, 2019.

Submission Rules

An edit to an existing Wiki page or creation of a new page can be submitted, with screen captures showing before/after the edits.
All edits must be supported by an appropriate reference(s) - such as PubMed citation.
An individual can submit only one entry into the competition: either an edited existing page or creation of a new page.
