WikiProject Pathology aims to better organize information in the articles related to laboratory medicine (which includes anatomic pathology, hematopathology, and neuropathology) and forensics.

Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease. It is also a collection of medical specialities which focus on the diagnosis of disease based on changes in microscopic morphology and the determination of death, which includes forensic pathology. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Title

WikiProject Pathology

[edit] Scope

The clinical aspects of pathology and the diagnosis of disease.

This WikiProject aims to:

  • increase the quality of the current articles on pathology 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 pathology, so that Wikipedia is a more-or-less comprehensive pathology resource for the public
  • ensure that articles created on pathology topics are thoroughly referenced and include up-to-date links to the most recent literature
  • explain the use of evidence-based medicine in pathology
  • maintain consistency per WP:MEDMOS on pathology articles
  • increase the number of images attached to articles - making use of freely available histological images from places like Pathology and its more advanced German version.
  • produce pathology-themed featured articles based on the above
  • strenghten the articles related to forensics

[edit] Parentage

This WikiProject is descended from WikiProject Clinical Medicine.
