I've used Wikipedia to look up additional info on certain medical conditions family members have. Generally medical articles have extremely conscientious footnotes and citations. It's very easy to check primary sources to ascertain accuracy. Hit up PubMed if you need more info! Encyclopedias have never been considered acceptable authoritative sources. So long as we keep in mind the context and purpose of the resource, I see no problem in doctors using Wikipedia as a convenient high-level overview in their research.
