AWESOME!

"Whereas people might spend a long time composing a comment to a blog post or engage in lengthy, in - depth conversation on a discussion board, Twitter invites more in-the-moment interactions. It provides an easy way to

maintain connections, share thoughts, or ask for advice." - Jane Bozarth

IMPORTANT!

“To fully appreciate Twitter, you should have a reason

for using it!”

So, What is your reason for using it?

Twitter Doctors

http://twitterdoctors.net/

A directory of the most influential doctors

on Twitter.

Learning Diary: 1. Gather and share real-time data about

interesting cases and assignments. 2. Study with word play and rapid review. 3. Summarize topics to study for the day as

tweets – keep a log of study topics for review while on rotation.

4. Tweet about research studies and current events. Get doctors to share links about must-read research articles and review topics.

5. Brainstorm about a case during morning report.

6. Share mnemonics.

But, HOW? “Twitter is a great way to learn

about what it’s like to be a doctor and to share experiences with other

medical students and physicians.” Examples: 1. Keep a learning diary. 2. Tweet about your day

(doctors/students). 3. Follow mentors. 4. Communicate with alumni.
