WikiProject Gastroenterology

[edit] Scope

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}}
