The increasing use of social media to share knowledge in medical education has
led to concerns about the professionalism of online medical learners and
physicians. However, there is a lack of research on the behavior of professionals
within open online discussions. In 2013, the Academic Life in Emergency Medicine
website (ALiEM.com) launched a series of moderated online case discussions that
provided an opportunity to explore the relationship between anonymity and
professionalism. Comments from 12 case discussions conducted over a one-year
period were analyzed using modified scales of anonymity and professionalism
derived by Kilner and Hoadley. Descriptive statistics and Spearman calculations
were conducted for the professionalism score, anonymity score, and level of
participation. No correlation was found between professionalism and anonymity
scores (rho = -0.004, p = 0.97). However, the number of comments (rho = 0.35, p <
0.01) and number of cases contributed to (rho = 0.26, p < 0.05) correlated
positively with clear identification. Our results differed from previous
literature, the majority of which found anonymity associated with
unprofessionalism. We believe that this may be a result of the fostering of a
professional environment through the use of a website with a positive reputation,
the modelling of respectful behaviour by the moderators, the norms of the broader
online community, and the pre-specified objectives for each discussion.
