"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.
