How do I remove myself from a community?

How do I find others at my hospital?

Click on Hospitals, find your hospital on the list and click the link. This will show you a list of all members being seen at your same hospital.

I'd like to see activity and members in other communities outside of my own. How do I find them?

When navigating through the site, you will automatically be viewing content from "My Communities." In the top right corner of your page, next to "My Communities" you have the option to view "All Communities" or select a specific community to view.

If I set my profile to private, who can see my information?

When you set your profile to private through your Dashboard, only members who you've accepted as Friends can see your profile details.

Members who are not in your friend network can only see your user avatar and must request your friendship to see more.
