20: Randomized trial of a patient education tool about leiomyoma

Abstract

CONCLUSION: Almost 300,000 posts related to urogynecology were identified on Instagram. While the majority of posts were educational in nature, physicians authored < 10% of them. Social media has altered the way in which patients gather health-related information and make decisions regarding their clinical care. Physician participation may improve the quality of educational posts and offer a low-cost platform for networking and connecting with patients.
