Created by physicians for physicians, DynaMed provides the most current information with validity, relevance and convenience making DynaMed an indispensable resource for answering most clinical questions.

DynaMed clinical faculty monitors the content of over 500 medical journals on a daily basis. Each article is evaluated for clinical relevance and scientific validity.

1. WeijiBaikeBianji (talk · contribs · count · email) As my edit history will disclose, I am currently interested in updating the high-page-view article Leprosy with medically reliable sources, and I watchlist other articles related to medicine (and the WikiProject Medicine project pages) as part of improving articles related to human genetics and psychology. I'm committing to following the Wikipedia content guideline on correct sources for medical articles so adding this resource to the other resources I have access to through Wikipedia Library would be most appreciated. Thanks for coordinating the applications. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 23:39, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
2. Lilitik22 (talk · contribs · count · email) I'm an editor in hy.wikipedia for already 4 years as well as a sysop. I have 43 000 edits in all wiki projects and 3400 articles. Among my articles there are many medical articles and I need additional sources for them and for new ones. --Lilitik22 (talk) 11:28, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
3. Keilana (talk · contribs · count · email) I'm a highly active medical area in obstetrics and gynecology, specifically gynecologic oncology. Since I'm not affiliated with a medical institution, I do not have access to DynaMed normally. I am currently working on bringing all major gynecologic oncology articles to Featured status, and having DynaMed would greatly enhance the articles I work on, which are both high importance and high-impact.
