To create a novel module based online curriculum for neurologists, trainees, and students who do not have a Twitter account to learn how to use #NeuroTwitter professionally.
The use of social media has become more widespread within the neurology community since the COVID-19 pandemic onset. Many individuals are hesitant to join Twitter in a professional setting due to lack of informational resources on how to create a Twitter account and specifically orient towards activities in neurology.
The study was approved by the Weill Cornell IRB. Three 30-minute modules were created focusing on an introduction to Twitter and the basics of #NeuroTwitter, learning from peers, and academic scholarship. All modules are performed virtually. Eligibility criteria included current status as a United States based neurology attending physician, trainee or medical student applying to neurology without a professional Twitter account. After signing consent, participants completed a baseline survey, followed by 3 modules, and a post module survey.  Participants will be prospectively followed for 4 months to assess use of Twitter after module completion.
Enrollment began September 27th, 2021 with a target enrollment of 50 participants. After 2 weeks of open enrollment we have screened 33 participants with 24 enrolling into the study. Nine participants failed screening due to either living outside the United States (n=6) or having a prior professional Twitter account (n=3). The average age of enrolled participants was 36 years (range 28 to 72), with 17 women (71%) and 7 (29%) men. Enrollment included 9 attendings (37%), 7 residents (29%), 4 fellows (17%), and 4 medical students (17%).
There is an unmet need for resources to educate neurologists about utilizing Twitter in a professional context. Our study hopes to identify specific barriers and concerns to tailor future resources to match those needs.
