This website was developed by Drs. Edward Nemergut (associate professor of anesthesiology) and Robert Thiele (anesthesiology resident) at the University of Virginia with the intention of promoting evidence-based medicine in the disciplines of anesthesiology, critical care, and pain management. We believe that the collaborative nature of wikis (witness the success of Wikipedia), combined with other recent advances in information dissemination (ex. Podcasts, YouTube, web logs aka "blogs"), can substantially enhance the traditional paradigm of scientific journalism. This page is designed to be a multimodal educational toolkit for medical students, residents, and practitioners, with different pages targeted to different audiences. The content on this site is freely available to all. It is our hope that, as the site matures, increasing numbers of users will contribute new content or critique existing content, so that eventually the site will be completely self sufficient. If you have any suggestions, please email us at webmaster at openanesthesia dot org.
