About Connect: Who, What & Why
Mayo Clinic Connect is an online community that connects people. In the About Connect page, find out more about members, mentors and the community. Meet the team of Mayo Clinic moderators and how the community is managed. Review the community guidelines and learn how you can get the most from your Connect experience.
Twice a month, a member of your Connect community is featured in the Member Spotlights. Follow the About Connect page to get updates about members and the community.
Your Connect profile gives you and fellow members valuable information that helps create meaningful connections. All information you share in your profile is optional. Your profile also helps you see where you last posted and groups you are following.
A profile is divided into five main sections:
Q: Where do I find my profile?
A: Click your profile image in the top right and select My Profile. On a mobile device, click the menu (☰) symbol and select My Account, then My Profile.
Q: How can I see the profile of another member?
A: Click on their @username. You can find a member's @username by the timestamp or in the brief summary to the left a member's post.
Q: How can I find my posts?
A: Go to your profile to see a history of your posts.
Checking the groups you follow and your post history can help you find where you were last active since you logged on to Connect. Each post gives you useful information like when the post was made, the title of the discussion and which group it was posted in. Click VIEW & RESPOND to link directly to the post in the discussion thread.
Q: What information can a profile provide about a fellow member?
A: Depends on how much the member feels comfortable sharing. Each member will share as much or as little as they want.
How do you use your own profile? How does it help you when members have completed their profile?
