The edit-a-thon was on Tuesday September 30th, 2014, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The Wikiproject:Medicine team at Mount Sinai co-hosted with the Mount Sinai Emergency Medicine Interest Group, so we focused on articles related to emergency medicine! Some of us knew nothing of that topic; no problem.
