As recently graduated medical students are on the verge of beginning their residency programs, the Social Media Health Network is pleased to offer a resource to encourage awareness of and discussions relating to use of social media.

In "The Doctor is Online: Physician Use, Responsibility, and Opportunity in the Time of Social Media" -- a project conceived by Dr. Bryan Vartabedian, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Texas Children's Hospital who blogs at 33Charts -- several experienced physicians who are also active in social media provide advice and insights to young doctors just beginning their residency training.

Dr. Vartabedian approached us at the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media in April to ask whether this might be an appropriate project for the Social Media Health Network. Together we invited Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson -- a pediatrician blogger from Seattle who is a member of our Center for Social Media Advisory Board -- and Dr. Katherine Chretien of George Washington University to join Dr. Victor Montori of Mayo Clinic -- our medical director for the Center for Social Media -- to share their insights. Here is the video we produced with them:

  • hm, just average stuff. all the speakers sounded moralizing and scary :(

  • @wordsmth01 yeah I agree.

  • In deze video hoorde ik nergens iets over de "EED VAN HIPPOCRATES". Alle artsen hebben die ooit gezworen, overal ter wereld!

  • A must watch for the freshly minted residents!

  • Great video, and definitely worth watching for all biomedical professionals.

  • Excellent guidelines for all physicians.

  • Thank you this is a great resource for medical schools.

  • This video makes some good points, but it's a hodge-podge of totally different points. Among them:

    -->Don't reveal private information about your patients.

    -->Recognize that anything you (as a physician or student) do can leave a digital footprint about yourself.

    -->Social media can help in your communication with patients/clients.

    -->Create your own online presence rather than allowing others to construct the image they want, not the one you want.

    Valid points, but too jumbled.

  • Great video!
