Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Neurosurgery Residency Programs
  • Social Media Analytics

Background:

  • Social media platforms, particularly Twitter (X), are increasingly adopted by medical residency programs.
  • Programs utilize these platforms to enhance engagement and potentially improve their institutional rankings.
  • The specific role and impact of Twitter (X) in neurosurgery residency programs require detailed evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the utilization of Twitter (X) by neurosurgery residency programs in the United States.
  • To analyze online activity, follower counts, and content strategies of these programs on Twitter (X).
  • To identify current practices and suggest potential improvements for program outreach and engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Identification of neurosurgery residency programs with Twitter (X) accounts from the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Directory.
  • Analysis of tweets from January 2022 to June 2023, categorizing them by content and type (original vs. retweet).
  • Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were performed, including assessment of the relationship between Twitter (X) following and program ranking.

Main Results:

  • Twitter (X) accounts were active for 68.3% of accredited US neurosurgery programs (n=84/123).
  • Active accounts collectively gained 167,068 followers, with primary tweet content focusing on program information, research, and conferences.
  • A significant positive correlation (r=0.493, P<0.001) was found between Twitter (X) follower count and program ranking.

Conclusions:

  • The majority of US neurosurgery residency programs actively utilize Twitter (X), mainly for showcasing academic achievements and recruitment.
  • Online engagement on Twitter (X) appears to reflect program visibility and impact.
  • Strategic social media management is crucial for maximizing program benefits and enhancing outreach.
