Staying up to date with medical knowledge traditionally included attending conferences and reading journals. Yet, there are various other ways for medical professionals to stay current in their perspective fields.
Alerts
One of the most effective ways to stay current with the latest medical literature is to use apps, set up RSS feeds, or alerts. There are three main types of alerts:
Use hashtags relevant to your field, or follow your favorite scholars, journals, or associations. Medical education hashtags include #FOAMed, #GME, #MedEd
Other:
Podcasts, listservs, blogs, author interviews
