How Social Media Can Revolutionize Medical Education May 3, 2012

I co-authord a recent MedPage Today article about social media and medical education with Dr. George Lundberg. Check it out here!

Medical education and medical practice at all levels, already online in so many ways, can no longer remain aloof from social media.

When patients ask questions about the online world, or more precisely about social media, medical professionals should at least be aware of the issues and be able to give an honest, nondefensive, appropriate answer without hesitation.

After a presentation about this course at the Medicine 2.0 Congress at Stanford University in November 2011, a U.K. physician asked permission to travel to Debrecen, Hungary, every week during the semester just to attend the course. So, Dr. Mesko developed and launched a new global format called The Social MEDia Course.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. As the internet is becoming more and more important in medicine, we must include digital literacy in medical education as young doctors must learn about internet-related issues. I made the first step by launching a free, Prezi.com based online course with 16 relevant topics covered in social media and medicine. But I need your help!

Please spread the word about it and get the information about the course to your local medical school or association.

Many thanks!

Digital Literacy in Medical Education: Please Spread the Word! April 17, 2012

For long years, I’ve been giving presentations about reforming medical education due to crucial changes in medical communication and the internet. I’ve been quoted several times: “Digital literacy must be in the medical curriculum globally!

The Social MEDia Course, an online, Prezi.com-based portal with post tests and gamification was launched 3 weeks ago as a first step in this movement.

Please help disseminate this free course to as many students globally as possible. Please share it with your networks and the local medical schools and authorities. The Australian Medical Students’ Association agreed to link to the course, but digital literacy does not seem to be that important for other associations.

All medical students should have a chance to learn about reasonable internet usage and social media tricks even if their own medical school does not have a course like that.

Here you can find a description, a video, a prezi and images about the course.

Thank you!
