You have the same oportunity as your Czech colleagues, who have developed a large number of articles that cover the topics of all examination questions in the Czech version, WikiSkripta, in portal Hygiene and Epidemiology. The portal started to be used immediately with thousands of visits each month.

The Institute Hygiene and Epidemiology invites you now to develop the same useful aid for yourselves and your younger colleagues.

Revisions of existing articles needed

 * Dietary Guidelines for Population needs a complete revision. The guidelines there are NOT the current Czech official guidelines (Healthy 13) that are presented in the nutrition seminar at 1st Faculty of Medicine. Current recommendations available at the website should be used. In addition, the recommendation about fat is very imprecise (diferentiation between fats with saturated & unsaturated fatty acids is needed). --MUDr. Eva Kudlová, CSc. 10:06, 16 February 2012 (CET)
