The use of social media has greatly expanded in the last decade, with widespread use of smartphones, the internet, and other multimedia to enhance learning. There is evidence to suggest that social media has a place in healthcare education, but there is limited research to suggest the effectiveness or use of it in dental foundation training. This paper discusses the risks and benefits of social media and suggests that a better understanding of social media and its role in the development and practice of newly qualified dental professionals could benefit both trainees and trainers.
在过去十年中，社交媒体的使用大幅扩展，智能手机、互联网及其他多媒体广泛用于促进学习。有证据表明社交媒体在医疗保健教育中占有一席之地，但关于其在牙科基础培训中的有效性或应用的研究有限。本文讨论了社交媒体的风险与益处，并指出更好地理解社交媒体及其在新获得资格的牙科专业人员的培养和实践中的作用，可能会使学员和培训师都受益。
