Featured in this edition of Radio Rounds is Dr. Kevin Pho, the creator and author of KevinMD.com, the web’s leading physician blog with over 21,000 RSS subscribers and 16,000 Twitter followers. The Wall Street Journal calls KevinMD.com a “punchy, prolific blog that chronicles America’s dysfunctional health care system through the prism of a primary care provider.”
Dr. Pho, an internal medicine physician in Nashua, New Hampshire, shares his thoughts on social media in modern medicine and the important role that social media plays for new physicians. The ability to interact with patients, he stresses, is only enhanced by physicians adapting to medicine’s growing online presence. Be sure to check out KevinMD.com and read more about Dr. Kevin Pho’s thoughts on his blog, as well as his occasional contributions to The New York Times.
In this episode, we also hear from Dr. Gerald Berke, as part of the Radio Rounds weekly residency series. Dr. Berke is the Director for the Otolaryngology (ENT) residency program at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA.
