ABSTRACT

We comment on the value of the work by Acquaviva and associates in "Documenting Social Media Engagement as Scholarship: A New Model for Assessing Academic Accomplishment for the Health Professions". Our comments touch on the value of social media in medical education, and how the social media contributions of medical educators should be recognized.
