TLDR
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the delivery of education for all specialties, including cardiac electrophysiology, and the use of social media in these educational efforts.Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the delivery of education for all specialties, including cardiac electrophysiology. This review will provide an overview of the COVID-19 spurred digital transformation of electrophysiology education for practicing clinicians and trainees in electrophysiology and cover the use of social media in these educational efforts. Major international, national, and local meetings and electrophysiology fellowship–specific educational sessions have transitioned rapidly to virtual and distanced learning, enhanced by social media. This has allowed for participation in educational activities by electrophysiologists on a wider, more global scale. Social media has also allowed rapid dissemination of new advances, techniques, and research findings in real time and to a global audience, but caution must be exercised as pitfalls also exist. The digital and social media transformation of cardiac electrophysiology education has arrived and revolutionized the way education is delivered and consumed. Continued hybrid in-person and virtual modalities will provide electrophysiologists the flexibility to choose the best option to suit their individual needs and preferences for continuing education.read more

Using social media to promote academic research: Identifying the benefits of twitter for sharing academic work.
TL;DR: Investigating the extent to which there are gender differences in the dissemination of research via Twitter finds considerable evidence that, overall, article citations are positively correlated with tweets about the article, and there is little evidence to suggest that author gender affects the transmission of research in this new media.
