A community for Canadian physicians and medical professionals
๐ While this community is intended for Canadian discussions, you are free to post about other medical systems. We're all in this together :)

Rules
-
No requests for professional advice or general medical information. Please do not solicit medical advice or share personal health anecdotes about yourself or others.
-
No promotions, advertisements, surveys, or petitions.
-
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. 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.
-
Protect patient confidentiality. Please anonymize cases and remove any patient-identifiable information.
-
No memes or low-effort posts: Memes, image links (including social media screenshots), images of text, or other low-effort posts or comments are not allowed.
These rules have been modelled after /r/medicine. While some rules were modified or skipped as this is a much smaller community, we can revisit the rules as we go. Thank you :)
