Twitter and the New England Journal of Medicine

In the last month, the NEJM published two articles with Twitter as a central focus.

First there was “Social Media and Advancement of Women Physicians” featuring Heather Logghe’s #ILookLikeASurgeon and @McSassyMD, @SingleScalpel and @DoctorMeowskis‘s #GirlMedTwitter

And then in tomorrow’s print edition is former NEJM editor, Lisa Rosenbaum‘s editorial about Esther Choo‘s recent viral hashtag #ShareAStoryInOneTweetTwitter Tailwinds — Little Capsules of Gratitude.

It is amazing to see thought leaders in medicine emerge from #MedTwitter. And it is equally amazing to see the oldest of the old guard, The NEJM, embracing this brave new world.
