Title
WikiProject Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the liver and the digestive tract.
This WikiProject aims to:
- increase the quality of the current articles on gastroenterology topics by increasing their medical content while keeping them accessible to individuals with no specialty medical knowledge
- facilitate the creation of new articles on topics in gastroenterology and hepatology
- ensure that articles created on gastroenterology topics are well referenced, including the insertion of up-to-date links to the most recent literature
- maintain consistency per WP:MOS on gastroenterology articles
- increase the number of endoscopic images attached to articles
- produce gastroenterology-themed featured articles based on the above
- include both traditional and complementary and alternative medicine therapies for gastrointestinal illness, with appropriate focus based on the evidence
- improve the gastroenterology bluebox {{Gastroenterology}}
Parentage
This WikiProject is descended from WikiProject Clinical Medicine.
