Social Media can be a great tool for Rural Docs (A point a recently made when I was applying to the Rural Generalist program in Queensland), especially addressing the issues of isolation & continuing education.

Hope to meet you one day.

Good to meet you at SMACC. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the relevance of FOAM to rural doctors and am astonished when I meet someone who, despite having both the internet and a need for ongoing medical education has somehow, unbelievably, not managed to stumbled upon any FOAM (although i can understand how a google search on casey parker might lead certian people astray!).

Wouldn’t it be such a refreshing change for the college website to actually HAVE some useful links when you click that box? At least the ACRRM guys at SMACC were polite enough to listen to my whinging about how much their website sucked, maybe change is in the air!

cheers
glenn

Some of the recent discussion on the future of FOAM has centered upon building a structure for the FOAM “tree of knowledge.” The tree of knowledge reference and a very eloquent summary of this topic is available from a new member of the FOAM-o-sphere, the Mid Med Meddler who recently started posting at meddle.cc (it’s a good post – let’s give him some support!). Tim Leeuwenburg also weighed in with a couple of post from SMACC that touched on curriculum. [...]

Loved the conference – sad we did not get to catch up such was the volume of people present.
Agreed that this has changed the way I feel about medical conferences and can’t wait for the next one.
Your agenda over the next year is very ambitious, but I am sure the FOAMed community with help in any way they can to make it all possible
Thanks for your great reporting of SMACC
Mike

Hardly inspiring…

To me the greatest danger will be the inevitable hijacking of the blogosphere by commercial interests. Don’t forget the web’s humble origins as a scientific forum. Or Facebook, twitter etc as pure “social” media. Witness now their use in viral marketing, electioneering, Nigerian scams. I can’t see FOAMed remaining unadulterated for long. I hope I’m wrong.

Great post

Just on point 4 and 6. Around the discussion of curriculum. Certainly the concept of a #foamed curriculum was raised at smacc but I think Vic Brazil said it best when she explained that social media was just a tool, like prezi, PowerPoint etc etc. we already have curriculums eg CEM, ACEP, ACCRM etc etc and we simply use SM to help us gain knowledge related to these curriculums or our own personal learning goals.

However we must ensure that with the eagerness to embrace #foamed we caution people not to assume everything they need to learn can be gained just through SM. we all must use multiple tools to achieve this and Vic showed a great example of big topics (hand washing and indigenous medicine) somewhat neglected by #foamed at the moment. I think it was a great moment for us to reflect on this sobering thought and think about what else we might be neglecting :)

Looking forward to tomorrow, I better get to sleep :)
