David Rothman has assembled a comprehensive list of medical wikis which seems to be growing longer every day. He will need to reorder them in categories soon.

If you click through the entries on the list, you will notice that many wikis are still in early stage with just a few entries. Many of them will not make it and will eventually fade into oblivion. It is a normal process

similar to natural selection. The most popular wikis (with most contributors/readers) will survive.

We have discussed several times with the founders of AskDrWiki that the main challenge for a wiki manager is getting people to contribute. Doctors are busy and few of them have time (and desire) to create quality content for free.
