In a special episode of Bowel Sounds recorded LIVE at the 36th Annual Meeting of the Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (Gesellschaft für pädiatrische Gastroenterologie und Ernährung) originally to be held in Basel, Switzerland, hosts Drs. Peter Lu and Jennifer Lee talk to former NASPGHAN President Dr. Carlo Di Lorenzo (our guest from our very first episode) about how digital media — including social media, blogs, podcasts, and other formats — is changing academic medicine.
We discuss the rise of digital media for teaching, promoting research, and building community in pediatric gastroenterology. We discuss whether social media posts and podcasts should be factored into academic productivity and promotion. We also answer questions from the audience about why pediatric gastroenterologists should engage in social media and how to address misinformation.
As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field.
