Use of Social Media in Nephrology

July 16, 2019

 


Although social media has traditionally been viewed by some as a way to personally advance oneself, now it is being used in a more academic way to advance medical education. Listen to this podcast, in which Bob Provenzano, MD, chief medical officer for Nephrology Practice Solutions and vice president of medical affairs for DaVita Kidney Care interviews Samira Farouk, MD, transplant nephrologist and social media enthusiast on how social media can revolutionize patient care, on both clinical and academic levels. Drs. Provenzano and Farouk discuss how the global nephrology community can be accessed through social media for clinical questions and to learn how medicine is practiced around the world.
