1/ Thread: This morning I gave Dept of Medicine #GrandRounds@OHSUSOM@OHSUNews. In #medtwitter’s spirit of sharing & learning, here is my first #Tweetorial summarizing highlights & crediting #hcsm’s incredible contributors & source material
2/ 4 months ago EBM & cardiology expert Dr. Milton Packer published a blog post detailing how he found Twitter uninformative and emotion/opinion driven
Is this the reality of #medtwitter?? medpagetoday.com/blogs/revoluti…
3/ #SoMe is digitally based mediums that helps us
CREATE
SHARE
PARTICIPATE
60% of physicians say their most popular activity on #hcsm = Following what colleagues are sharing and discussing
Channel the “look at me” negative stereotype of #SoMe into “look at THIS” learning etc...
6/ recently @OHSUNews@OHSUSOM interviewed several of my colleagues on how they use twitter, with common themes:
* Share
* Enage
* Learn across disciplines
* Teach
* Advocate
* Build community
* Share pride in colleagues and trainees news.ohsu.edu/2018/07/11/why…
8/ #medtwitter has shaken up how research is disseminated/engaged, leading to ⬆️article views/downloads, ~ leading to increased future citation
But it’s not just dissemination for its own sake or sensationalism, it’s for learning and communication jmir.org/2011/4/e123/
10/ so back to Dr. Packer. @Doctor_V’s @33charts rebuttal was spot on, highlighting #medtwitter’s ability to help curate reputable content & provide a collaborative exchange platform.
ACCESS & VOICE --> LISTENING & PARTICIPATING 33charts.com/milton-packer-…
12/ can #medtwitter fact-check itself? Take this example of a MKSAP error being accelerated to @ACPInternists—shared with me via Twitter moment by @kidney_boy while I was chatting with @WrayCharles about that new publication
13/ #medtwitter extends our boundaries and professional networks, flattening hierarchies across time in practice and (sub)specialties, providing ACCESS to leaders, and leaders LISTENING to trainees
16/ @greenQoDay is a stellar example of an education account at @JeffersonUniv@JeffIMclerkship@JeffIMchiefs being utilized to flip the classroom on inpatient wards, including increasing attending/learner accountability for followup teaching
20/ #medtwitter also provides a platform to BUILD COMMUNITY--to bond over stories, sharing, resilience, burnout, humanism, with hashtag driven content like #TipsforNewsDocs
21/ and even the teachers on #medtwitter can discuss how we’re more engaged by our patient care + teaching responsibilities by utilizing #medtwitter in real-time
22/ in addition to providing acccess & voice while we create/share/participate #medtwitter helps us flatten hierarchies by championing learners in novel ways, not just learners pushing themselves up but mentors giving them boosts
23/ here's a late breaking example from last night-how to share your successes without bragging & credit trainees
(PS--@DavidWienerMD was by 4th yr Sub-I attending @JeffersonAlumni-and we reconnected on #Medtwitter recently)
24/ which is why #OHSUscholarship celebrations have been a critical part of @OHSUIMRes, akin to the content tweeted by fellowship program accounts @OHSUPulmCCM@OHSU_ID in addition to educational and community building content
25/ and #medtwitter on campus @OHSUSOM@OHSUNews has let me (and others) see colleagues’ enthusiasm for working with learners, multidisciplinary staff, and patients. this kind of learner support is CONTAGIOUS
Thank you so much to @PlenarySessShow@Plenary_Session for having me on episode 4 to talk about the benefits of #medtwitter! It was great to find another venue (ie not typing in < 280 characters) to discuss its role in learning, patient care, advocacy, & professional development
this is reference 140:
Conclusions: Bundle branch blocks identified on the preoperative
ECG were related to POMI and death but did not improve prediction
beyond risk factors identified on patient history. insights.ovid.com/crossref?an=00…
THREAD Friday mini #tweetorial! Despite having a learner w me in #periopmedicine clinic the last two days, I neglected to tweet any #postitpearls (though lots of great learning + pt care!). BUT had 2 back-to-back cases raising questions of weight we place on self-reported pt info
2/ will be intentionally vague to protect PHI without diluting learning value...for all the talk re #EHR clutter, EHRs helping propagate accurate info but also "chart lore" false info, #backtobedside, #patientsbeforepaperwork...when can you "take a pt's word for it" in preop?
3/ pt A-early 50s, elective ortho surgery (though pain affecting QOL & activity levels), VERY vague "MI" and "CAD" history in chart from decade ago, no immediately available records, some risk factors for premature CAD (tobacco) but no interval events...
1/n #Tweetorial: As an Assistant PD for @OHSUIMRes focused on scholarship, #medtwitter, & #hcsm (health care social media), I’m often guide residents and colleagues on how to best use Twitter for academics, networking, learning, etc...
2/n recently, while welcoming newbies (esp students) and “onboarding” them to #medtwitter & #hcsm, I was asked to put together advice for IM applicants on how to best use social media during application/interview season. I think this advice is applicable beyond IM, too.
