Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

In all seriousness, the main reason is a doctor shortage. Medical school being prohibitively expensive and very unforgiving to people who mess up. Not to mention how competitive it all is too.
