The study took place at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, John A. Burns School of Medicine with students from the MD class of 2022.<p/> <p>Methods: The students learned to edit and contribute to Wikipedia over a period of three months from August to November 2018. At the conclusion of the editing experience, students were asked to respond to a retrospective pre/post survey to assess the impact of Wikipedia editing on various information literacy skills.<p/> <p>Results: Data gathered from the survey show a statistically significant improvement in the students' perceived information literacy skills.<p/>
