You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !medical_professionals@midwest.social

This is a community for physicians, PAs, NPs, Nurses, Paramedics, EMTs, CNAs, LPNs, students of medical disciplines, and folks interested in joining the field.

Rules: 1. No discrimination, bigotry, intolerance, or harassment allowed. Instances of such behavior will be deleted, and users with multiple offenses will be banned.

2. Please do not post personal medical questions here. Case reports for discussion are fine, but if you’re looking for medical advice, you should consult a physician IRL. If you are trying to figure out what kind of specialist to go to, post a comment to the pinned post.

3. No marketing or advertising of commercial products. Recommendations based on personal experience for educational resources are fine, but outright advertisement is not.

4. Be rad to each other. This field is rough enough as it is, no need to tear each other down. If you have a critical opinion of something, present your arguments as critique of policies or practices in a respectful manner. (e.g. discussions about scope of practice for APPs)

5. PLEASE REPORT THINGS THAT BREAK THE RULES! (At the moment, there is one of me, and I am a medical student with pudding for brains and slim to none in the way of free time [yay clinicals!], so help me out here :D)

6. Flag NSFW/NSFL posts appropriately. If you’ve been in the field more than a couple months, you’ve probably got your own little pile of PTSD already, but give folks a warning if you’re going to be talking about gnarly stuff. Not everyone is in a good headspace to deal with trauma-dumping or over-sharing. (Note: Discussions of painful or traumatic experiences are allowed, just give folks a heads up before they click.)
