Thanks to Jesse Thomas, we can see how usage of various online media is growing exponentially.
Several weeks ago, I posted about doctors and their patients using social media. The numbers in the video below help underscore that post's discussion about the importance of knowing how patients and healthcare professionals are using the Internet and social media.
Today's post is short on pontification. Just let these numbers sink in for a while.
This blog, "It Ain't Rocket Surgery" is intended to help busy health-care professionals find useful online and mobile resources that will enhance their self-education and professional research efforts, or point out important topics of discussion related to online information and content. The blog's title is a Yogi Berra style mash-up of two common phrases, "it ain't brain surgery" and "it ain't rocket science". I hope it will be casual, fun, insightful, and -- most of all -- educational.
I currently serve ACCP as the Senior Vice President of Communications, as well as the Executive Editor of CHEST, the ACCP’s flagship journal. During my 15 years here, ACCP has focused on growing and developing the editorial, technological, and business aspects of the College. We are constantly striving to make the journal and other ACCP educational content as accessible and useful to clinicians as possible.
When not at work, I like to spend time scuba diving with sharks, collecting original comic book artwork, exploring the digital world, and searching for good BBQ.
Your feedback about the blog is always appreciated. So are tips on good BBQ joints.
