2. Medical residents and social
media – A perspective
When I was a child, I spoke as a
child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child; but when I
became a man, I put away childish
things

4. Social media “policies” by
academic medical centers or
medical schools point out the
“don’t do this, don’t do that”, but
let’s also focus on what the
trainees CAN do. Let’s
consider how we can IMPROVE
our current health care system
and ultimately the care of
patients with innovative uses of
social media and social
networking …

5. I think there are too many people on the
Web offering advice to you on how to use
social media. Most of this advice is just
regurgitated advice from people you may
never have heard of before,
…You really don’t need “How To” tips
on blogging or Twitter. Oh, I’m
confident that you’ll be told otherwise
– but those folks, well-intentioned as
they may be, don’t understand that
you’re smarter than that.
Rather than learn bad habits from the
get-go, take advantage of your lack of
experience. It’s okay to make mistakes
that don’t cause harm and violate the
privacy and dignity of others.

6. What is Social Media?
Extension of every day interaction
Conversations & exchange
Communities of shared interest
Tools for innovation
Integrates technology
7. Why consider social media?
To stay informed
Communicate (engage) with peers and patients
Disseminate information
Advocate for/against something
Because if you decide not to use social media, your
decision should be based on sound knowledge
about what you are choosing not to use
9. A changing environment
A variety of forces are conspiring to redefine the physician: tech |
information | health 2.0. We must understand our evolving role
Reality of the networked world: social communication will define the way
MDs engage, learn and communicate
The most important decision a physician will make is who and what to
listen to
The internet has changed the way patients see doctors, their diseases
and themselves
Med students are at a very unique point in med history: Between a
collapsing analog age and an emerging digital age
A great digital footprint will never cover for a doctor’s poor care

year Baylor College of Medicine Students

11. Case study: The Political Resident
Brandon is a resident who, since starting medical
school, has kept a blog about his views on medicine,
medical education, and health care politics. Recently,
Brandon has blogged extensively about his extreme
political views regarding the upcoming election. His
residency director reads his blog and tells him that he
must delete his posts and can no longer write new
ones, as he is not only a hospital employee and a
representative of the residency program, but also a
professional who must represent himself accordingly

12. Discussion
Is it reasonable for the residency program director to tell this resident that
this non-medical blog should be removed? The residency director tells this
resident to remove his blog. What would an appropriate response be?
A. What a resident does on his own time is his business.
B. He should have asked him to remove the offending posts and be
careful in the future.
C. When you are a student and resident, you are ultimately under the
guidance of your dean and residency director.

* Apply same principles of professionalism that apply in person

22. What not to do
Chicago Doctor Accused of Posting Photos of Intoxicated Patient
Aug. 20, 2013 (AP)
By ALANA ABRAMSON A former Northwestern University student claims
that after she was admitted to an Illinois hospital for extreme intoxication, a
doctor there took photos of her and posted them to social media sites with
commentary about her condition.
Elena Chernyakova filed suit in the Cook County Circuit Court against Dr.
Vinaya Puppala, the Feinberg School of Medicine and the Northwestern
Memorial Hospital on Aug. 15, claiming invasion of privacy and infliction of
emotional distress. Puppala is a fellow in the Multidisciplinary Pain Medicine
Fellowship at Feinberg, which works in conjunction with Northwestern
Memorial Hospital, according to court documents.

24. The Boundary Fallacy
Keeping a boundary between
professional and personal life on social
media is “operationally impossible,
lacking in-agreement among active
physician social media users,
inconsistent with the concept of
professional identity, and potentially
harmful to physician and patients.”
Rather than eliminating boundaries and
“suggesting anything goes,” physicians
should just ask themselves whether
what they are posting on social media
is appropriate for a physician in a
public space – with the issue of the
content being professional or personal
being irrelevant.
“Social Media and Physicians’ Online Identity Crisis”
published in JAMA, Aug. 14 (v.310, no: 6, 581-582).

who have the
philosophy that we
want to graduate
docs who are

Twitter is a great
thing.”

28. Using social media in residency: Suggestions
Facebook presence for colleagues etc
LinkedIn account to:
Build network for future career
Follow discussion forums on medical education
Twitter account to:
Develop your list of people, journals and other accounts to follow
Watch (and engage) medical Twitter community (e.g. #hcsmca,
#hcsm)
Follow and engage your professors

29. Social media and you
Students come to medicine with a relatively self-focused view of their
networked world, and don’t yet understand how they fit into the broader
networked world. As they mature professionally, they recognize that they
are part of a broader community, which brings accountability. This
progression has real importance when we expose ourselves to the great
wide open.
