Library Rm. 108

Instructor: M. Ascher

This Tech Tuesday session will follow a journal club format to discuss informally the results of a systematic review published in the June 2013 issue of Academic Medicine:

Cheston CCFlickinger TEChisolm MS. Social media use in medical education: a systematic review. Acad Med 2013 Jun ;88(6): 893-901. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23619071

The aims of the study were to: “answer two questions: (1) How have interventions using social media tools affected outcomes of satisfaction, knowledge, attitudes, and skills for physicians and physicians-in-training? and (2) What challenges and opportunities specific to social media have educators encountered in implementing these interventions?”
