The list is compiled by Bunny Ellerin, a well known expert in health social media. It includes many great resources for learning about the role of social media in medicine. For those who are still unsure whether social media is important for physicians and health institutions to communicate with present and future patients, these sites may be a useful revelation.
Here is the excerpted list. Check out the full post to learn more about each resource.
