Paging Dr is here to share information and support helpful discussions about GAMSAT, graduate medicine admission and working as a doctor.

• Be active in the forum. What you put into the forum is what you get out of it. Be willing to give something of yourself (e.g. a post in the Hello! Board) before you ask for something. If you are going to be away for an extended period, let us know - so we don´t start worrying and wonder what happened to you.
  
  
• View the descriptions for each board before randomly posting in the first board you click on.
  
  
• Sticky posts: If you see a post stickied to the top of a board, please read it. These posts contain useful links and simple posting guidelines. If you have not made the effort to read these posts, please do not be offended if nobody makes the effort to respond to your post.
  
  
• Please do your research first. Use the Google Search box at the bottom of the main forum page to search the forum only. Odds are that someone has had a similar question.
  
  
• When not to create a new topic thread: If a thread for your topic exists, post to it with the reply button. When you post a reply to an old thread, that thread is immediately bumped to the top of the list.
  
  
• When to create a new topic thread: If your question has not been covered and there is no suitable thread for it. Ask a specific clear, meaningful, well constructed question, details and examples help and people will be more likely to reply. Give it a meaningful post name (not "Help me!!!!!!!! " or "What should I do?") If you found your answer elsewhere, please post it for the next person.
  
  
• Avoid hijacking other members' discussions. An example of hijacking is when someone posts a question about ANU offers in a Canberra Study Group thread. Such posts will be deleted.
  
  
• Double posting: back-to-back posts from the same member are usually not necessary, particularly if the last post was made within 24 hours. Modify the existing post and use [ hr] to separate the new text from the old. If the last post is more than 24 hours old, press reply to create a new post.
  
  
• No Chat Threads: If a thread says NO CHAT, this means we are using the thread to collect information, such as GAMSAT results, offer details, introductions, interview experiences. Please post only the information we request in these threads. We have separate threads for you to offer your congratulations/commiserations.
  
  
• No txt typing. What is appropriate for your mobile phone is not appropriate here.
  
  
• If you register and do not post within 7 days, your account will be deleted. All boards are open for unregistered visitors to view. You only need to register if you intend to post to a board.
  

• Before you ask your question, visit the home page of the university which interests you. The first post of each University thread contains the link to the University home page. A full list of home pages are available here.
