Benefits of Social Media for Physicians and Their Patients

Dr. Shikha Jain has amassed 1000 twitter followers in a year by making breakthroughs in oncologic research accessible to non-physicians and colleagues alike on twitter.  She is also the moderator of two physician Facebook groups.  We discuss the importance of having an online presence in order to build your practice and why physicians in particular need an online presence in order to combat the spread of misinformation by facilitating the spread of peer-reviewed, science based, relevant information.
