Three dermatology residents -- Dr. Julie Croley, Dr. Elisabeth Tracey, and Dr. Daniel Mazori -- discuss their use of social media and its impact on patient care in this special resident takeover of the podcast. Beginning at 6:29, they talk about social media accounts they follow and medical influencers, as well as the use of social media as a marketing tool for practicing physicians. Social media also is a source of misinformation for patients, and they discuss how it can be used as an important tool to educate patients when advice comes from a validated source such as a health care professional. As a dermatologist, do you have a duty to take to social media to provide reputable health information?
We also bring you the latest in dermatology news and research:
1. First North American clinical guidelines for hidradenitis suppurativa released.
2. Dr. Jeniel Nett discusses the dangers of Candida auris.
