[**RULES**](/r/medicalschool/wiki/rules)

1. **Don't be an asshole**

2. **No pre-med content**
>Please keep all topics relevant to current medical students. All pre-med related content belongs on /r/premed.

3. **No Medical Advice Questions**
> This forum is not a place to ask for personal medical advice. Any posts asking for second opinions, diagnoses, interpretation of personal labs/imaging, etc. will be immediately removed. A more appropriate subreddit is /r/AskDocs.

4. **No filesharing**
> Filesharing is prohibited in this subreddit. This includes discussion of filesharing or sources of pirated or copyrighted materials. Anki-related discussion belongs on /r/medicalschoolanki or /r/Anki. Discussion related to other resources belongs on /r/Step1 or another related sub.

5. **No Troll posts/comments**

9. **No research/surveys without moderator approval**
> At this time, research and/or surveys are not allowed on our sub. There are no exceptions to this rule.
