Researchers at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences found that a majority of the school's first-year medical students changed their behavior after participating in a social media and professionalism course. The study results show that the "formal" education benefited med students as they develop professional habits inclusive of social media and look to avoid behavior detrimental to their careers.
The study, published in Teaching and Learning in Medicine, includes analysis of social media and professionalism courses hosted by GW from 2012 to 2014. A six-month follow-up survey found 94 percent of students who participated reported increased awareness of their social media behavior as it relates to their careers, and 64 percent made changes as a result.
