CONTENT DESCRIPTION:
earning radiology has expanded beyond the traditional methods of textbooks, lectures, and workstation discussions. Social media has become a popular platform for radiology education through case sharing and discussion. In this presentation, we focus on twitter and review how it can be used to teach radiology. We will begin by reviewing the benefits of twitter as an educational platform. The prime benefit is the opportunity to connect with radiologists around the world, in all fields, as well as colleagues in other medical specialties. We will demonstrate this by sharing our experience creating a collaborative series between breast radiology and breast pathology using the #breastradpath. We will then review different methods of educating using Twitter. We will focus on tweetorials, interactive cases, and show-and-tell cases. We will use examples to fully demonstrate each type. Lastly, we will review how this material can be shared across social media platforms to have greater impact.
