In this video, Dr. Friedman briefly touches on what type of content patients don’t want to see from their practitioner and the importance of including disclosures with social media posts. His call to action for his colleagues: Make social media training a core requirement in residency programs.
“Just as we grade our residents on how they present a case, we should be teaching and reviewing how they use social media so it’s done in the best possible way,” he says. “It’s on us – it’s our fault if there’s a problem down the road because we haven’t given that proper guidance.”
