I see two important questions in the latest post.
Do you plan on accepting other disciplines for different conditions? There are multiple 'doctors' in the medical field: MD/DO, DPT, OD, PharmD, DNP, ect.
In general, having attained a high level of education in a specialty is best when writing articles about that specialty, although simply having a degree is not enough to make a fantastic resource. Let me elaborate.
The information has to be high quality, and the information has to be trusted by professional users. I can say at this point that we will accept contributions from users
that create trust from civilians and professionals alike in areas which they are qualified. Additionally, I am very aware that midlevel care providers can be far more competent in certain areas than the attending physicians because they benefit from specialization and hands-on experience.
To repeat myself, a contributor needs to be both correct, and trusted. In the real world these do not always overlap. People should feel a sense of relief when they use the encyclopedia. I'm being vague on specific degrees at this point because they need to fulfill these two requirements.
I see this as only being able to redeem the CME by losing ATLAS tokens.
That's correct. Professionals send ATLAS to the foundation and then the foundation redeems CME hours that professionals have accumulated with their boards.
I honestly hope that you can cast out the snakes of the big industry and allow a comprehensive platform free for the general public.
We do too!
