Subreddit Rules
- Be respectful
- targeted slurs, name-calling, purposeful demeaning comments and the like. Posts reported for disagreement, even tense disagreement will not be removed unless the above occurs.
- No advertisements or self-promotion
- transactional posts, recruitment, surveys etc. unless approved by mods.
- No medical advice, personal health questions or protected health information: This community is for professional discussion among healthcare providers. Medical questions should be directed towards your own healthcare provider, or check out r/AskDocs or r/medical_advice. Non-healthcare providers may post if relevant to the field of family medicine and if comments/post excludes personal health narratives and detailed possibly identifying information
- personal health narratives
- patient photos.
- Keep premedical and applicant questions to the sticky, or consider other subs - and read the wiki!: Please direct questions about med school and residency application processes to r/premed or r/medicalschool. Questions about "what are my chances", residency interviews, rotations or the like are better suited to these other subs, which are much more active, or your post may be removed.
- If you have relevant questions for current FM docs you feel is relevant for this sub (family medicine is a great field, and we'd love to share it with you!) Keep to the designated careers sticky.
- Vaccine discussions: Vaccine conspiracy theory posts and comments are not welcome. Strictly medical discussion of vaccines allowed. Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Family Physicians encourage routine immunization schedules be followed. If you disagree with these vaccination guidelines, write to your professional society for their consideration. If you have had an adverse event related to a vaccine, see: https://vaers.hhs.gov/ for further reading.
- Misinformation: Don't do it. As per the Reddit TOS an expectation of safety is required. Intentionally posting medical misinformation (or any gross misinformation that causes harm ie: herbs cure cancer) will be removed. Users who repeatedly break this rule will be banned. What is NOT "misinformation": a topic you disagree with, a controversial statement, a technically inaccurate/wrong but respectful statement that does not otherwise harm general public.
- User flair required: Read the wiki for how to assign user flair. All flair is mandatory, verified optional.
- Read the wiki: The wiki has instructions for user flair including verified user flair and answers many applicant questions. New to wiki is expanding residency exam resources and prep and career topics such as DPC models, contracts and practice mgmt in progress. Read the wiki!
- 9. OPTIONAL: Join as a verified practitioner: Some posts may be restricted to physicians or APPs only. To participate in these posts, please apply for verified user flair & approval from moderators. Instructions are in the wiki.
- Layperson Policy: Laypeople are not 100% banned from participating, but we ask to please prioritize listening & observing. Most of us work directly with patients day in/day out, and believe us when we understand we have a broken healthcare system, and bad doctors/PAs/NPs do exist. It is also true that emotionally difficult, disrespectful patients exist. This is one of the few spaces as physicians and providers have to commiserate and share tips for handling these situations. Please mostly listen & observe.
