#MedEd: Medical Education and Knowledge Translation on Social Media. Ayers, J. W., Goodman, A. M., & Smith, D. M. JAMA, 330(10):909–910, September, 2023. ![#MedEd: Medical Education and Knowledge Translation on Social Media [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Social media has been the subject of intense scrutiny, particularly how the lay public uses social media for their health needs and consumes or shares misinformation. However, for health professionals, social media has become a valuable resource for medical education and knowledge translation. The popularity of the hashtag #MedEd underscores this trend (Figure). On X, formerly known as Twitter, there were 4 397 691 original posts with the hashtag #MedEd on the platform from January 1, 2012, through 2022, with the number of posts increasing each year, most recently from 692 095 during 2021 to 1 178 647 during 2022. While the hashtag #MedEd is a vital indicator of this community, the applications of social media in health care are larger and more diverse, encompassing various platforms and approaches for professionals, educators, and students to share, discuss, and learn from the latest research findings and clinical experiences. The evolution of what is broadly called #MedEd has implications for how we understand and translate medical advancements and challenges us to explore the potential educational benefits of social media in the health sciences.
