I am currently in the airport on the last leg of a brief
trip to present to the Institute of Medicine about using emerging technology in
medical education. I am very pleased that the IOM has agreed to use a second screen to
showcase a live Twitter feed during the meeting. I have used this “second screen” option for several
presentations over the past few years; it is done as an attempt to demonstrate
live the content that is being highlighted: an opportunity for communication
and discussion within medical education in a unique format.
I have written about this in the past. However, this piece from a few days ago cautioned folks who do tweet the
meetings. Dr. Bryan Vartabedian wrote
this phenomenal piece on “tweeting the meeting” earlier
today. I concur 100% with his eloquent,
succinct statements that really get into “what it is all about” at such
meetings.
I hope the demonstration tomorrow goes well. If interested, please follow the hashtag
highlighting this meeting: #IOMgenomics.
My part is “Innovative Models of Education: Using Technology Appropriately
in Medical Education” and starts around 9:45 am EST on 8/18/14. As always, feel free to follow the #meded
chat as well.
