Well 3 medical wikis deserves more than mention especially when they delivered from personal efforts and study projects .

Dr.Rafus Rajadurai `s personal wiki :
http://rufusrajadurai.wetpaint.com/
an interesting personal medical web site – wiki style , hosted at WetPaint , Its created by Dr.Rafus Rajadurai .

The site is quite an example for many other personal medical site which focus more on resources , but this one in addition contains also small medical knowledge base , categorized and classified . The site also contains an archive of Materials for download and 3D Medical animations library .

Its quite personal effort , which many people already used to do so as a part of their study or education . And as this is wiki style , may be Dr. Rafus will give permissions to other colleagues to contribute .

AnatoWiki :

The other site , started as summer class project and now it has many moderators and editors  , Its very well organized , and the topics  categorized into units .The Editors are very generous to make the contents media rich , adding youtube videos a long with graphs and pictures .

Physiwiki :
http://physiwiki.wetpaint.com/
Which is another mini wiki for Human Physiology . Same style of grouping the topics in units as Anatowiki . The editors are supplying the wiki pages with all media related they can find .
Adding Questions review at the end of some topics is quite useful study technique  .

Microbiowiki :
http://microbiowiki.wetpaint.com/
Well this is the most organized wiki for today  ,  and its also featured at WetPaint . Very well categorized as well . including many videos , resources links , graphs and photos .

Bad sides :
Well there are also bad sides for those wikis as well :

-TOC : Table of Contents is missing on most of the pages . TOC is an essential part of the wiki browsing , and bookmarking .
-No references archive .
-Design mess .
-Content over crowding in some pages .

Personal projects seems to be core for something more bigger especially when they have the features of web 2.0 connectivity and interactivity along with sharing and usability .
