It's easy to get involved and contribute to EthnoMed!
First, get in contact with us UW Health Sciences Library to let us know that you are interested in contributing to EthnoMed. Next, collect information on the topic that you wish to write about. If you are collecting ethnographic data, you may find it helpful to refer to our lecture notes on ethnographic interviews. Before you sit down to write, take a look at other documents in EthnoMed and study the template for a typical EthnoMed document, or if you are writing a cultural profile, the cultural profile template. The templates are meant to foster a uniform document structure but are not written in stone, so feel free to adapt them to your topic. Finally, write your document and submit it to us. Remember, EthnoMed is meant to be a quick reference for care providers to glance at just before seeing a patient, so documents should be brief and to the point. EthnoMed is not a peer reviewed home page. However, our editors will work with you as needed to adapt your document to EthnoMed. All documents must be reviewed by community members for accuracy. We will help link you with appropriate community readers.
If you have something to contribute to EthoMed, please send a comment to EthnoMed Librarian at UW Health Sciences Library. Please include your name, phone number, address (and email address), and some information about yourself.
If you are interested in creating audio files, we have described the process we have used, and some instructions in Digital Audio Recording.
