Social Media Use on the Rise among US Doctors
Social media is used by many types of industries for various purposes. A survey published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research shows that US doctors use social media on a daily basis. Approximately one in four doctors do that to find out what’s new in the medical field. 500 oncologists and primary-care doctors were queried for this study, and the researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center in Baltimore found out that, apart from scanning medical information, 14% of doctors also offer new information via social media daily.
