The past decade has been marked by the increasing use of social media platforms,
often on mobile devices. In the nephrology community, this has resulted in the
organic and continued growth of individuals interested in using these platforms
for education and professional development. Here, we review several social media
educational resources used in nephrology education and tools including Twitter,
videos, blogs, and visual abstracts. We will also review how these tools are used
together in the form of games (NephMadness), online journal clubs (NephJC),
interactive learning (GlomCon), and digital mentorship (Nephrology Social Media
Collective [NSMC] Internship) to build unique educational experiences that are
available globally 24 hours per day. Throughout this discussion, we focus on
specific examples of free open-access medical education (FOAMed) tools that
provide education and professional growth at minimal or no cost to the user. In
addition, we discuss inclusion of FOAMed resource development in the promotion
and tenure process, along with potential pitfalls and future directions.
