What's happening in the Using the community community?
I noticed a post recently suggesting a medical student community. Just to let everyone know, if you would like to create your own community to share topic focussed ideas or resources, just log in, click on "My Communities" (black bar at top of page), then "Create new community". You will then be able to modify the community settings, such as who can join and who can comment on community posts, and start inviting people to join.
Have fun!

By default the My Medical Career community requires users to approve all colleague requests. This is a privacy setting to make sure that people cannot just add you as a colleague unless you allow this.

In Edit my account there is an option to decide whether
If you have set your account up so that you can moderate colleagues, the Colleague requests menu option allows you to manage this.
