Social media has become increasingly popular not only in everyday personal life, but in the field of medicine as well. With more than 1.28 billion people worldwide using Facebook and 255 million using Twitter, social media has become intertwined with the personal and professional lives of physicians (1). With the freedom to convey information in a limitless manner comes responsibility, particularly for physicians and allied staff. It is not uncommon to hear anecdotes about members of the health care team being terminated from their occupation on the basis of misuse of social media. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which gives patients peace of mind to fully confide in their health care team without consequence, is important to remember when using social media. Many health care facilities and organizations have guidelines to help direct the medical community in the proper use of social media. That being said, when used in the correct manner, social media allows for limitless opportunities to convey information to others.
