Flair System
Subreddit Rules
- All submissions require user flair. All posts require commentary and context.: You must set appropriate user flair to post or comment for context and to demonstrate a minimum effort to follow subreddit rules. All posts require a sufficient text description in the body of the post for context to explain why the link is of interest to the community and to start the conversation. Posts/comments without user flair will be immediately filtered, and posts without commentary included will be removed upon discovery.
- No personal stories or situations
- requests for medical advice or information.: This is not a question-and-answer forum such as /r/askreddit. You may not solicit medical advice or share personal health anecdotes about yourself, family, acquaintances, or celebrities, seek comments on care provided by other clinicians, discuss billing disputes, or otherwise seek a professional opinion from members of the subreddit. General queries about medical conditions, prognosis, drugs, or other medical topics from the lay public are not allowed.
- No promotions, advertisements, surveys, or petitions: Surveys (formal or informal) and polls are not allowed on this subreddit. You may not use the subreddit to recruit for research or to promote your website, channel, subreddit, or product
- petitions or market research. Advertising, fundraising, or spam may result in a permanent ban. Prior permission is required before posting educational material you were involved in making.
- Link to high-quality, original research whenever possible.: Posts which rely on or reference scientific data (e.g. an announcement about a medical breakthrough) should link to the original research in peer-reviewed medical journals or respectable news sources as judged by the moderators. Avoid login or paywall requirements when possible. Please submit direct links to PDFs as text/self posts with the link in the text. Sensationalized titles, misrepresentation of results, or promotion of blatantly bad science may lead to removal.
- Act professionally and decently.: /r/medicine is a public forum that represents the medical community and comments should reflect this. Please keep disagreement civil and focused on issues. Trolling, abuse, and insults (either personal or aimed at a specific group) are not allowed. Do not attack other users' flair. Keep offensive language to a minimum and do not use ethnic, sexual, or other slurs. Posts, comments, or private messages violating Reddit's content policy will be removed and reported to site administration.
- No personal agendas or "single topic" commentary: Users who primarily post or comment on a single pet issue on this subreddit (as judged by moderators) will be asked to broaden participation or leave. Comments from users who appear on this subreddit only to discuss a specific political topic, medical condition, health care role, or similar issues will be removed. Comments which deviate from the topic of a thread to interject an unrelated personal opinion (e.g. politics) or steer the conversation to their pet issue will be removed.
- Protect patient confidentiality: Posting protected health information may result in a ban. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information. For health information arising from the United States, follow the [HIPAA Privacy Rule's De-Identification Standard](https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/special-topics/de-identification/index.html).
- No career, job, school, premed, or homework questions.: Questions relating to medical school admissions, courses or exams should be asked elsewhere. Links to medical training subreddits and a compilation of careers and specialty threads are available on the [subreddit wiki](/r/medicine/wiki/index). Advice about medical careers generally, "should I become a doctor/nurse/other," a particular specialty, location, type of job, or other medical career advice may be asked only in the stickied monthly careers thread.
- No throwaway accounts.: Posts from user accounts less than one week old and/or with less than 10 comment karma are not allowed.
- No memes/low-effort/AI/general news: Memes, image links (including social media screenshots), images of text, or other low-effort posts or comments (especially if written by AI) are not allowed. Videos require a text post or starter comment that summarizes the video and provides context. Posts about medical adjacent news topics must be pertinent. AI topics are likely off-topic at this point and will face increased scrutiny.
- No anti-science/medicine nonsense: r/medicine isn't the place for your anti-science/medicine viewpoints. If you want to "just ask questions" about things like vaccines or basic medical knowledge, or you want to promote pseudoscience, go somewhere else. We do not want it here. If you want to claim something outside the norms, you are required to provide valid evidence that you have a real basis for the claim.
