Complete list of eMedCert's 'Top 100 Twitter Accounts For Healthcare Professionals To Follow'
Over the past decade, the Twitter healthcare space has considerably expanded. Twitter is an excellent platform for healthcare professionals to share their knowledge, make new connections, and establish themselves as healthcare thought leaders. With a well-followed Twitter healthcare account, you can immediately advance your career as a healthcare professional.
Staying updated on the latest happenings within the healthcare world is a necessity for all medical professionals. New intelligence continually arises from constant research and fieldwork being conducted. It is essential for all healthcare professionals to have access to the knowledge derived from these findings. While Twitter certainly won’t replace the traditional methods of acquiring professional knowledge, it does offer the easiest and quickest tool to access valuable information.
As we’ve previously mentioned in the essential reasons to use Twitter, following the right people is the first step to using Twitter as a learning platform. Simply put, to get the most out of your Twitter account, especially as a healthcare professional, you need to know who to follow – which is easier said than done. With over 500 million active users on Twitter, sorting through the duds to find helpful accounts can be quite tedious and time-consuming. For this reason, eMedCert decided to help you take that first step by compiling a list of the top 100 Twitter accounts for healthcare professionals to follow. A great deal of research went into this, and many outstanding and deserving Twitter feeds were left off of this list. There will undoubtedly be several accounts not featured on this list that may be more useful to you personally. However, in our opinion, these 100 Twitter accounts ultimately proved to offer the most value to healthcare professionals in general.
