This webinar's purpose is to discuss social media's impact on medical education, with a practical approach focusing on echocardiography and the ASE Twitter Journal Club (#ASEchoJC). Attendees will hear the experiences and perspectives of four speakers from different backgrounds who will discuss how being involved in social media and #ASEchoJC has helped them in education, diffusion of scientific work, and their professional development. Dr. Thamman, #ASEchoJC founder and immediate past-Chair, will discuss the history, evolution, and impact of #ASEchoJC. Dr. Garcia-Sayan, current #ASEchoJC Chair, will moderate the session and discuss live attendee questions with the speakers. The speakers will discuss best practices, tips, and tricks for successfully engaging and getting involved with #ASEchoJC. The first #ASEchoJC of the 2022-2023 season will follow later this evening.
