What began as an avenue for Hollywood celebrities to share what they had for breakfast, Twitter has evolved from novelty to utility with physicians at the wheel driving science 280 characters at a time. We ventured into the worlds of #NephTwitter, #DermPath, #4n6 and #CardioTwitter, in addition to #colorectal-surgery and #oncotwitter, to find out how eight leading physicians in these pockets of Twitter are utilizing social media (SoMe) in their careers. With a combined Twitte

The “M” word. Yes, we’re going there, #PathTwitter. We’re talking about Match, of course! With Ranking opening on February 1, we’re here to bring you helpful Match tips and recommendations we found perusing through the web. We understand everyone digests information differently, so we’ve included links to Match resources in a variety of formats to assist future residents with all learning styles.

Pathology is an active, dynamic, charismatic medical science that needs to be in constant communication and collaboration with all clinical branches and colleagues. Love for pathology spans the globe, and that couldn’t be more true for Pathologist Dr. Pembe Oltulu (@pembeoltulu) from Turkey. Her love and dedication for the field is contagious! An ardent user and supporter of #PathTwitter, her research interests include social media in pathology, impression cytology, dermatopa

The best ways we can all support Black female colleagues is by speaking up when we know and see there are unjust practices in place. If everyone were to set the tone that it is unacceptable to continue certain practices that diminish the value or are toxic towards integral teammates, then I think it would deter individuals from that behavior. Welcome back to Voices from #BlackWomenInMedicine! Black female doctors represent only 2% of physicians.1 It is our hope that by sharin

There is one aspect of #PathTwitter that we can’t get enough of and that is #PathArt! Colleagues from around the globe share the most beautiful images that can only be seen under a microscope. One form of #PathArt that we found both beautiful and intriguing is from Leonie Schön. You may know her as @lamellipodium on Twitter where she posts her #PathArt – but you won’t find images from a camera on her Twitter feed. Leonie’s #PathArt is created from a blank piece of paper, a pa

Is it just us, or is #PathTwitter exploding? The education, the camaraderie, the expertise shared among pathologists is certainly one-of-a-kind, both in the medical field and in the professional world. Enamored, we started digging into #PathTwitter, it’s content, it’s beginnings. It was clear to us, Dr. Jerad Gardner (@JMGardnerMD) was a prominent figure in the birth of not just #PathTwitter, but using different social media platforms to teach and advocate for pathology. We h

#PathMatch21, the hashtag that has MS4s on a rollercoaster of emotions. This year’s Match was unique in that COVID-19 caused everything to be virtual. But if there’s one thing you can’t stop it’s a med student on a mission to pathology! So, what was PathMatch21 like? We didn’t want to speculate on real-world experiences so we went to the experts - the MS4s participating in PathMatch21 to find out what it’s really like participating in Match. Challenges and Opportunities of Pa

Updated January 2021 Recently we asked the #PathTwitter community to tell us about the resources they go to for pathology information. Responses ran the gamut from podcasts to Twitter journal clubs to YouTube channels. With all of this information, where is one to begin? We compiled a list of resources with links so you can digest this information at your leisure. These resources are great for residents and medical school students (let’s hear it #PathMatch21!).

How is it possible to educate when the best practice in today’s world is social distancing and sheltering-in-place? Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of closed colleges and universities across the globe, #CAPVirtualPath was born. #CAPVirtualPath is the hashtag for the College of American Pathologists (CAP; @pathologists) virtual lecture series which began in April. “Many CAP junior members found their training programs affected by their institution's COVID-19 response.

We recently asked #pathtwitter why it’s a good idea for third-year medical students to take a pathology rotation. When choosing specialties, third year is when (for many students) the magic happens and they begin to get an idea about what they want to do for the rest of their lives as medical professionals. As always, we received great feedback from outstanding pathologists which inspired us to write this blog post in favor of pathology rotations. It was clear from the feedba
