==Overview==
The goal of the Board Review Questions Project is to create a universally accessible free repository of Board Review Questions which are targeted at multiple educational levels. All questions must be original and cannot violate Wikidoc's strict policies regarding plagiarism.  Liability related to copyright violations regarding board review questions rests with the person who prepared the question. Please notify WikiDoc in writing if you feel that there has been a copyright violation regarding a board review question.  Board review questions are reviewed and discussed by the WikiDoc Scholars on Monday mornings at 10:30 AM Eastern time.  After creating the questions the editor can quality check his or her own work using the quality checklist [[WBR quality checklist]].  Board review questions must be approved by the Editors-in-Chief prior to uploading them onto the WikiDoc site.
