NEW YORK, January 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

- Elsevier's Beta Medical Wiki Invites Board-Certified Physicians to Comment, Collaborate and Update Established Medical Textbook Online.

Elsevier, the world's leading publisher of science and health information, announced today the beta launch of WiserWiki (http://www.WiserWiki.com), a wiki that allows board-certified physicians to collaboratively contribute and update medical information online.
