在病理学中使用社交媒体对病理学教育和外展产生了广泛的积极影响,频繁发布对学员具有潜在价值的高质量教育材料,执业病理学家,和其他临床和实验室专家。这些职位对公众也具有潜在的效用和兴趣,他们现在比以往任何时候都更能够进入现场和病理学家在他们的医疗保健中的作用。使用食品/类比的教材可能会有轻松的一面,表情符号,或其他描述符,它可能会进入教室。然而,当病理学讨论被带到公共论坛时,例如在Twitter上(母公司:XCorp.),张贴的材料有可能被误解,例如当某些表情符号或形容词可用于描述人类疾病状态或患者样本时。作者列举了潜在的谨慎领域的例子,关于如何产生积极影响的建议,以及#PathTwitter上社交媒体礼仪的简短指南,这些指南可能适用于病理学家广泛使用的其他社交媒体平台(包括,但不限于,Facebook,Instagram,YouTube,和KiKo)。虽然这里讨论的要点可能是常识,并且是使用社交媒体进行虚拟医学教育的病理学家所熟知的,这里提到的问题(例如使用“美丽”这样的语言来描述异常的有丝分裂图和癌细胞)仍然存在,从今以后,熊加固。
The use of social media in pathology has broadly had a positive impact on pathology education and outreach with the frequent posting of high-quality educational material of potential value to trainees, practicing
pathologists, and other clinical and laboratory specialists. These posts are also of potential utility and interest to members of the public, who are now more than ever able to gain a window into the field and the role of
pathologists in their medical care. There can be a lighthearted aspect to teaching material with the use of food items/analogies, emojis, or other descriptors, which may cross over into the classroom. However, when pathology discussion is taken to a public forum, such as on Twitter (parent company: X Corp.), there is the potential for posted material to be misunderstood, such as when certain emojis or adjectives may be used to describe a human disease state or patient sample. The authors present examples of potential areas of caution, suggestions of how to create a positive impact, and brief
guidelines for social media etiquette on #PathTwitter that may apply to other social media platforms widely used by
pathologists (including, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and KiKo). While the points discussed here may be common knowledge and well-known to
pathologists who use social media for virtual medical education, the concerns mentioned here (such as using language like \"beautiful\" to describe abnormal mitotic figures and cancer cells) still exist and, henceforth, bear reinforcing.
