The use of social media to supplement resident medical education - the SMART-ME initiative.

CONCLUSION: Residents believe social media could be used for medical education. After we launched a Twitter page for medical education, there was a significant increase in the use and frequency of Twitter for resident medical education over the ensuing 6 months. Further research should be performed to see if social media can impact overall medical knowledge and patient care, and whether longer term use is maintained. PMID: 26750511 [PubMed - in process]
