Community Guidelines
Facilitating the sharing and discussion of different ideas and approaches in medicine is the cornerstone of what we do. To that end, we want to ensure that we create a community that nurtures and encourages open communication. We have created these guidelines (“Community Guidelines”) to ensure that this communication takes place in a safe, professional, and inclusive way.
