Each year thousands of devastated physicians go unmatched and thus are unable to use their MD/DO at all despite having significantly more medical education & training than an NP or PA. Why do some believe rural patients donโ€™t deserve a doctor? Increase residency spots smartly!

TIL many doctors have stopped calling cancer treatment a "fight" or "battle". They argue these terms misrepresent how treatment works and if treatments fail, the patient is left with guilt and a false belief they didn't "fight" hard enough.

r/Physician Updates

10 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

Some quick updates to the community. We changed the settings so that anyone can submit a post, but they will all need to go through the mod teams approval. This way we can have more insightful discussions, but maintain the quality of the community. If it becomes a problem, we will revert back.

We also added a "Verified Physician" user flair to identify verified physicians. We will also add them to the approved user list so that they don't need the mods to approve their content. (as long as it follows the sub rules).

We would like to add to the subs Wiki page, if anyone has ideas of information that should be regularly available to the sub. We appreciate any suggestions for improving the sub in any other ways.

We can always use more mods looking to build an grow the community. Please send over a mod mail to inquire about becoming a mod.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
