Author: Howard J. Luks, MD- Posted in: Orthopedic Social Media 1 Comment

I’m enthusiastic about the changes that are taking place at the intersection of Healthcare-Medicine and Social Media….  and here’s a smattering of Twitter outtakes to “prove” it. 

Medicine and Social Media

Physicians,Healthcare Professionals, and Patients alike understand what opportunities digital and social media offer us… they are starting to understand the value propositions… and they are slowly learning the “rules of the road” 

Patients are catching on…

 Physicians are catching on….  They are creating content, collaborating and sharing ….  

 

… and many more are just starting to recognize that the intersection of medicine and social media is not a fad… and that the consequences of not understanding new media and its impact on education, collaboration, learning, sharing and communication are very  very real.
