Abstract

Social networks have changed the communication tools among healthcare professionals, enabling instantaneous and globalized sharing and monitoring of information. While more and more pathologists are taking advantage of these tools, some do not yet know them well, or have concerns about their use. These platforms have many advantages and the potential risks can be minimized by appropriate use. A pathologist community is very active, especially on Twitter and Facebook.
