“…The study's primary goal was to determine the online profile of Canadian Diagnostic Radiology residents at our institution. Almost all Radiology residents at the University of Alberta had an online profile, which was consistent with radiology trainees in U.S.A and other specialties, including Family Medicine and Internal Medicine, where greater than 90% utilized social media (Koontz, 2018). This online profile consisted of at least Facebook in the majority, which was consistent with a study evaluating Radiology residents in U.S.A. (Capps, 2017).…”

Objective: Survey the online profile of Canadian Diagnostic Radiology residents at the University of Alberta and determine whether residents alter it when applying for fellowships, due to the perceived assessment of their profile by Fellowship Selection Committees. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed by distributing an anonymous questionnaire to 31 residents at the University of Alberta. Descriptive and ANOVA statistical analyses were performed. P-value less than 0.01 was considered statistically significant. Results: 26 questionnaires were completed. The average age was 28.9. 91.4% of residents have Facebook, followed by Instagram (30.4%) and ResearchGate (30.4%). 52.5% viewed their profile at least once daily, although 83.3% make changes to it less than once per month. The profiles were primarily for personal use (72.7%) and none were solely for professional use. 53.8% felt that Fellowship Selection Committees assess their profile and 69.2% were neutral or agreed with this. In anticipation, 70.6% would restrict profile viewership, while 29.4% would change their profile name, predominantly due to the sensitive and personal information. 92.8% would make the changes at least 2 months prior to the application deadline. There was no statistical difference between age and having a profile (p=0.597), agreement with Fellowship Selection Committees using a resident's profile for selection (p=0.91), how often residents viewed (p=0.827) or changed (p=0.934) their profile. Conclusion: Nearly all Canadian residents at our institution have an online profile and over half view it at least once daily. The majority of residents perceived that their profile is assessed by Fellowship Selection Committees, but are not against it. In anticipation, most residents would alter their profile prior to the application deadline mainly due to the sensitive and personal information.

“…While past research has shown that social media platforms promote student‐led learning, increase student engagement, and help build informal learning communities . Our studies have shown that social media use in college classrooms may lead to a decline in academic performance, which may be due to distractive nature of social‐media websites.…”

Interestingly, although the use of e-books (e-books) has become more common in today's society, the use of university e-textbooks is still unpopular among college students [2,9,10].…”

The development of social media applications has made it an important part of students' personal lives. In this article, we aim to determine whether social media usage is beneficial or harmful to college students through academic performance. Through a survey of biological undergraduates, we found that boys use social media applications more frequently than girls, and that GPA is inversely related to the number of social media applications that students subscribe to. In addition, we found that using more social media applications is positively related to the amount of time spent on social media per day. Our research shows that social media may have a negative impact on undergraduates’ study habits and academic performance. © 2019 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 47(6):615–619, 2019.

Background Medical residents can offer ideas for new information services, as most of them are ‘digital natives’, although reviews of the use of social media in health care settings do not provide data on their information behaviour. Objective A scoping review aimed at providing a research map for the information behaviour of medical residents and their use of social media, listing the aspects of the information behaviour studied and the theories and methods used. Methods A search was carried out in pubmed, embase, cinahl and lisa in April of 2018, with the results limited to the period from 2010 onwards. Results Thirty‐nine relevant articles from 38 different studies were identified. The presence and use of social media was the most researched aspect, followed by information sharing, the relationships established and, finally, the search for and use of information. These aspects are researched mainly from the point of view of doctor–patient interactions. Only one study incorporated a theory of its design. Surveys were the most frequently used method. Conclusion Research does not delve into medical residents’ information behaviour on social media, despite the residents themselves using these media (in the context of everyday life, at least). More research is required.
