Presentation on Social Media Given at AAO-HNS Meeting in Vancouver, BC

It was with great honor and pleasure that I was asked by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery to co-present a 90 minute long mini-seminar on social media in medicine on October 2, 2013 in Vancouver, BC.

Dr. Wendy Stern (Vice Chair - Public Relations Committee of the Board of Governors of the American Academy of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery) along with Dr. John Carter (AAO-HNS Section for Residents and Fellows) organized this talk coordinating 4 speakers including:

• Dr. Lawrence Simon (Assistant Professor at Louisiana State University) providing an overview of social media and its pervasiveness
• Myself from the view of a private practice
• Dr. Julie Wei (Division Chief at Nemours Childrens Hospital in Orlando, FL) from the perspective of an academic medical practice
• Dr. Lee Eisenberg (Associate Clinical Professor at Columbia University) portraying the medical-legal pitfalls of social media

During this presentation, it was great to hear, see, and meet other otolaryngologists active in social media including @ENTinTraining, @ent_amy,@ithinkalot as well as blogger Dr. Bruce Campbell (Reflections in a Head Mirror; aka @headmirror).

One of my former mentors at Duke University, Dr. Richard Scher, was also present.
