The need for informatics training as part of pathology training has never been so critical, but pathology informatics is a wide and complex field and very few programs currently have the resources to provide comprehensive educational pathology informatics experiences to their residents. In this article, we present the "pathology informatics curriculum wiki", an open, on-line wiki that indexes the pathology informatics content in a larger public wiki, Wikipedia, (and other online content) and organizes it into educational modules based on the 2003 standard curriculum approved by the Association for Pathology Informatics (API).

The Pathology Informatics Curriculum Wiki is a public wiki based on community-based, continually updated online resources. It is about computers and information technology as tools within the field of pathology. Its content includes information management and communication (e.g. meetings on quality, electronic medical records, electronic order entry, reporting critical values, etc.) The goals of the Pathology Informatics Curriculum Wiki are four-fold: 1. To increase interest among pathology residents in pathology informatics; 2. To become a shared educational resource for pathology training programs to supplement or develop their own local curriculum in pathology informatics; 3. To increase research activities in the field; and 4. To connect pathology residents to experts in pathology informatics. We encourage contributors to (1) use the the wiki format to improve and extend this curriculum; (2) help edit and maintain the pathology informatics related pages in Wikipedia that are linked to this curriculum, and (3) create new pathology informatics pages in Wikipedia and link them to this website. In each of the lessons of the curriculum, we highlight areas where we feel that there is need for new or updated articles in Wikipedia relating to that topic.
