A draft of a new guidance document titled, Guidelines for the Appropriate Use of Social Media by Physicians, has been approved for external consultation by the College of Physicians and Surgeons’ governing Council. This guidance document provides advice to physicians on how existing professional and legal expectations apply to their use of social media.

First: Read the Guidelines document
Second: Login at 9:00PM ET to Twitter and search #hcsmca (Healthcare Social Media Canada), a Twitter chat that promises a mix of perspectives

See you there!
