Abstract:
Since their first appearance in 2018, tweetorials have emerged as a popular tool for medical education. Despite some calls for their inclusion in educational and promotion portfolios, questions have been raised about the appropriateness of these forms of digital scholarship. Also unclear is how a promotion committee might identify educational tweetorials most deserving of inclusion. We argue that educational tweetorials do warrant consideration as digital scholarship and offer a means of evaluation that promotion committees might use when assessing an individual tweetorial.
