Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: To the Editor: As many as 42% of Americans report utilizing social media to access health information.1 Despite this trend, a minority of dermatology-related social media posts are produced by board-certified dermatologists.2 During clinical encounters, dermatologists regularly rely on verbal instruction or educational text to convey complex information to patients.3 However, through the production of high-quality, publicly available online learning tools, dermatologists have the opportunity to improve continued access to and retention of health information.
