摘要

Social networks have had a substantial impact on the current methods of professional development and practice within the health services industry. They have proven to have a wide range of suitable applications that facilitate communication, training, and medical practice. Currently, there are many web systems that allow people to have a public or semi-public profile, allowing the creation of shared connections with a list of users within the same system, which may vary in nature and terminology depending on the site in which it is used, shaping the concept of the social network. The purpose of this review is to highlight the usefulness of social media networks in academic medicine and its impact on health services.
