MARTINEZ GIL, Luis Armando; MARTINEZ FRANCO, Adrián Israel y VIVES VARELA, Tania. Ethical considerations in the use of virtual social networks in medical practice. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2016, vol.59, n.3, pp.36-46. ISSN 2448-4865.
The use of Social Networking sites has become very frequent in medicine. This article aims to provide physicians and medical students with ethical recommendations to consider before publishing Web content. For that purpose, we provide a historical overview of the evolution of social networks, and we present several examples of the benefits acquired by using them for knowledge updating, promoting professional services and events, and as communication tools among colleagues and patients. Finally, specific recommendations for an effective, professional and ethical use of these media are given.
