Posting
Connecting with the community all starts in the Post Creator located at the top of your feed allowing you to create a post at a moment’s notice.
Once you select which type of post you'd like to put up, you will be required to enter important information for your post - i.e. title, body copy, the specialty you'd like to target, and any attachments that you'd like to include.
Post Types
- Ask a Question
- Have a quick question for your colleagues? Use this simple, new post type to ask questions that are top of mind, such as “when do you plan to retire?” or “what’s your favorite summer vacation spot?”
- Start a Discussion
- Here, you can share more details on medical and non-medical topics.
- In these discussions, you can include poll questions, links, up to 8 media attachments (image and video) and up to 5 PDF attachments.
- Share a Patient Case
- These are the same great patient cases that can now be shared in two ways: Unsolved OR Case Study. Now, if you have an interesting case that you’ve solved, you can share it as a Case Study to help educate your colleagues.
- Bring your Patient Case to life by including links, up to 8 media attachments (image and video), and up to 5 PDF attachments.
Create a Poll
Within each post type, you have the option to include a poll question, so you can gather statistical data to support the topic you've chosen to post about.
These polls can be a single choice, multiple-choice, or open-ended answer, and you can add up to 5 poll questions to each post.

Trending
In the Trending module, you'll always stay in the know about posts that are getting a lot of buzz from the community.
Drug Ratings
Drug Ratings is the first and only global peer-to-peer drug review system provided exclusively from verified licensed physicians.
Drug Ratings is the world’s largest dataset of physician perceptions on drugs. Drugs are rated by doctors according to their efficacy, safety, tolerability, accessibility, and adherence. Reviews often include commentary based on doctors’ real-world experiences.

The Drug Ratings tool was developed by Sermo and our very own physicians. The statistical methodology behind Ratings was developed and verified independently by biostatistics consultants led by Lee-Jen Wei (Blue Null Consulting Group).
