Social Media
We live in a networked age. It's a new world. Social media is an incredible opportunity to meet, connect, converse, disseminate, and collaborate in ways we never thought possible. There's a lot of skepticism about social media in the academic/healthcare world, but it's no longer a choice. It's the present and future of healthcare. Check out my thoughts on this blogpost: We No Longer Live in the 1990s: Social media, Google, and the Internet ARE Medical Therapy, which was also published on KevinMD.com and the BMJ blog.
I served as Social Media/Web Editor for the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Pediatrics from 2014 to 2017. Through my research with the Nightscout community, I have witnessed how the power of patients and caregivers on social media can impact health outcomes. I have given over 25 talks or workshops at national meetings and at academic centers to teach healthcare professionals (public health trainees, medical students, residents, research fellows, physicians, social workers, teachers, staff) about social media and I provide hands-on training on how to use social media effectively.

Digital Citizenship Guide
I started an online guide for social media for a training that I conducted at the 2014 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars Program National Meeting. I expanded the content in this Digital Citizenship Guide to include the important concept of digital citizenship, which was inspired by a lecture I gave to third year medical students at Michigan Medicine (see below).

Challenge #3: Use the "What Facebook Thinks of You" Tool
Download the Chrome extension "What Facebook Thinks of You" to see how your metadata is interpreted by one of the largest collectors in the business. You may be surprised to learn how accurate of a portrait your Facebook activity can paint of you!
Challenge #4: Rules and Etiquette
In case you haven't seen it, here is the social media guidance for medical students at University of Michigan. After reading the guidance, think about and discuss the scenarios from the following slides with case examples.
