“…The need to provide guidelines for its use is actually stated for university students who already use platforms as they are accessible, quick and convenient, and there is a real potential for its application on learning and teaching provided that it is carefully and appropriately structured (Ponce, 2013). Some researchers such as Gabal (2017) utilized activities-based on social networking sites in enhancing social oral skills for Arabic language learners who speak other languages in al-Azhar University who come from different Islamic countries…”

This study investigated the impact of using suggested e-activities via social networks (Facebook) in enhancing linguistic skills (reading comprehension skills) for Arabic Language learners who speak other languages in the Arabic for Speakers of Other Languages Centre at The World Islamic Sciences and Education University, Jordan. Participants of the study were Arabic Language learners who speak other languages who come to Jordan from different foreign countries to learn Arabic language. The researcher hypothesized that if these learners practiced e-activities via Facebook, their reading comprehension skills may be improved. For answering questions of the study, the researcher designed a pre-post reading comprehension skills test to determine the participants' mastery for reading comprehension skills. Furthermore, she uploaded the e-activities on a Facebook account that were made available for all the participants of the study. Results revealed that the suggested e-activities via social networks media (Facebook) were effective in improving participants' reading comprehension skills. Then the study recommended that social networks media could be utilized in improving other skills such as speaking and listening.

“…In the current age of widespread socialnetworking, medical professionalism is paramount in preserving patient confidentiality and our profession's public perception. In a recent study of 431 graduating medical students applying for a residency in orthopedic surgery, 16 % of resident applicant's Facebook profiles contained unprofessional content as defined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education guidelines [9]. Lower professionalism scores were associated with lower residency composite scores, once again underlining the importance of seeking the broad number of qualities that collectively define high professionalism, when selecting an applicant who has the potential to become a "great" resident.…”

Orthopedic surgery residency training is a difficult endeavor, and the selection of residents that will perform well in a rigorous training program is challenging for residency program directors. Even defining a "great" resident is a difficult endeavor. However, there are certain qualities that anecdotally are associated with high-performing residents, which include being trustworthy, hard-working and efficient, selfdirected learners, detail-oriented, and personable. These qualities are difficult to teach and are likely learned by an individual during their early years of education and groomed during college and medical school. Individuals possessing these characteristics are more likely to bring a high-level of professionalism to their work as residents and to perform well on objective measures of success in residency such as high OITE scores, good faculty evaluations, and peer-reviewed publications. We discuss the available, but limited, literature on what makes a "great" resident and share the resident perspective on this topic.
