Doctors and social media: knowledge gaps and unsafe practices.

CONCLUSION: Knowledge of institutional social media policy and privacy settings of social media accounts is inadequate among doctors. Regarding practices in social media use, while most agree that caution should be exercised for online posts involving patients, ambiguity still exists. The emerging knowledge deficit and potentially unsafe practices that are identified can be addressed through continuing medical education and training on social media use.
