USING THE ENVIRONMENT
To survive in the jungle we must adapt
With the exponential growth in technological awareness and availability and the explosion of social software, so a unique opportunity arises to deliver even more education through multimedia
Listen to the sounds of the jungle
Watch, learn, re-watch, iterate...
Remember the ABC of digital medicine - Airway Breathing Camera
There is always a unique learning experience around every corner...not just for you, your peers and your supervisors...but there to be shared with the world
This has led to the birth of the TED talks and organisations such as Academic Earth
TED Talks - TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, DESIGN
Not for profit organisation
Amazing speakers on unique ideas worth spreading
Academic Earth - Online degrees and video courses from leading universities
Including Medicine and Healthcare
Watch the lecture, download the podcast, share with friends, read the transcript
Grade the course
From Universities such as Stanford, Yale, Harvard, NYU, Oxford, MIT
Education is the GIFT - that just keeps GIVING
hospitals appear to be getting on board...
They have chosen to use the simplest and most mainstream social software platforms...
In the US at least

US hospital online presence
Ed Bennett has analysed the hospital social media strategies for keeping the public informed and interacting with the staff and public using social media
UNDERSTAND THE RISK
MINIMIZE YOUR RISK
Hospitals, physicians, and healthcare providers face new challenges that accompany the use of social media to network and communicate.
Leads to a redefining of boundaries
Patients may request to become friends on Facebook/twitter etc
Patients then may have access to personal information and may be associated with inadvertent breach of confidentiality
Lying down on the job...Seven UK doctors and nurses were suspended from their hospital after administrators discovered they had posted pictures on Facebook of themselves pretending to sleep on trolleys, in baths and on the helipad as part of the online craze, the Lying Down Game

UNDERSTAND THE RISK to MINIMIZE YOUR RISK
Egosurf to determine what information Google already has on you...you will be surprised! This will allow you to track down sources with unwanted information
AFL footy players get a 2 week training session in managing the media...maybe medical students and physicians should as well...
Aim to maximise the benefit of education delivery, and minimise the risk of social media exposure
Having a defined online persona and determine the details you release
Managing your persona can enhance the ability to define the boundaries between social and professional social medicine practices
Remember that there are great ways to have a positive identifiable online persona - without having to befriend EVERYBODY, post Sexing messages, play STUPID games etc etc
If you are going to be an idiot OFFLINE...you will probably be an idiot ONLINE
Understanding is half the battle...
Your personal and professional persona’s had the same battle BEFORE social media came along...dating patients, sexually inappropriate behaviour etc etc
Very much like everyday life - you are building a reputation, contacts and respect from peers..not patients
Applying the same principles to your professional online presence will be of great benefit.
because of the explosion in social media awareness, a partial/incomplete/poorly managed online presence will lead to WEEDS growing in your garden - very soon it will become overgrown and deifficult to manage...understand the context is the KEY
