Abstract:
Social networks have changed the communication tools among healthcare professionals, enabling instantaneous and globalized sharing and monitoring of information. While more and more pathologists are taking advantage of these tools, some do not yet know them well, or have concerns about their use. These platforms have many advantages and the potential risks can be minimized by appropriate use. A pathologist community is very active, especially on Twitter and Facebook. They share and discuss interesting cases, communicate around our specialty or simply strengthen links between pathologists around the world. Professional organizations and pathology journals are also present. This article aims to present social networks, their pros and cons and to give some good practice tips and examples of uses of the 2 main social networks used in pathology: Facebook and Twitter.
