Before You Apply

Physicians: See separate process for Physician Review Board applicants.

Step 1: Register for an OrganizedWisdom Account

We ask that you choose a user name based on your real name. For instance, if your name is Jane Smith, your user name might be JaneS or JSmith or JaneSmith. We also need your real name and an e-mail address for payroll and administrative purposes.

Step 2: Fill out the OrganizedWisdom Guide Application

Please give us as much information as you can about any related experience, whether in paid or volunteer work, that will contribute to your success. OrganizedWisdom Guides need to be self-motivated, well organized, able to discriminate between good and bad information, and able to check their own work. And yes, spelling and attention to detail is very important.

After you submit your application and writing test, please be patient! We normally review Guide applications several times a month, but are currently backlogged so may take longer. While you are waiting, you may wish to read How to Create Your First WisdomCard and review the Wisdomcards on the site and recommend great links to WisdomCards to discover more about what we do.

Step 4: Take the Open Book Test

If your writing meets our quality standards, we will email you with a link to our Open Book Formatting Training Test. All the answers are available in our Guide Instructions which can be reached on the right side of this page. This test is designed to help you learn our formatting, not to trip you up -- so just take your time.

Experience with either HTML or wiki coding is helpful, but not required. We will teach you the code you need to know -- you just need to be willing and able to learn.
