#theCGEA 2018 conference in Rochester Minnesota was hosted by @mayoFacDev. There were schools like @OhioStatemed and scholars like @stanhamstra. Publications @JournalofGME, @MedEdPORTAL and @TLMedEd were represented, editors like @anna_cianciolo and @debsimpson3 participated.
The first 279 characters of this #MedEdPearl demonstrate the proliferation of social media in medical education #SoMe. During these times of unfavorable news about social media one pearl was reiterated by #SoMe scholars like Daniel Cabrera (@CabreraERDR) and power users like Gary Beck Dallaghan (@GLBDallaghan) at @theCGEA:
Whether your interest is teaching, research or patient education, determine your purpose and intended audience before using social media. Let your goals drive your decisions about platform, strategies and connections.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center hosts a blog with several useful articles about #SoMe. It includes a quick start, Lingo, Tips to Grow Your Twitter Followers, Common Mistakes, Tweet Chats, and the power of using twitter at conferences.
