The Journal of the American College of Radiology has published a special issue devoted to social media and medicine.
Under the guest editorship of Dr. C. Matthew Hawkins of Emory University and Dr. Ruth Carlos of the University of Michigan, the issue highlights topics ranging from harnessing social media to amplify one's career to the strategic imperative for the use of social media in healthcare, leveraging Twitter to maximize radiology meetings, and using social media in radiology education (JACR, January 2018, Vol. 15:1, Part B, pp. 133-232).
"This special issue of JACR aims to dive deeper and explore the ways in which social media will affect the careers of physicians," Hawkins and Carlos wrote in an introductory article. "Addressing issues from its impact on contemporary scholarship to its influence on healthcare organizations, a multidisciplinary team of scholars have authored 17 articles that provide insight into a variety of aspects of social media that have, to this point, been largely unexplored."
