Social media's prevalence among the professional world is rapidly increasing. Its use among medical personnel-specifically, medical students, resident physicians, and staff physicians-could compromise personal-professional boundaries. Could the acceptance or lack of acceptance of a friend request bias the medical student application process? If friend requests are accepted, then medical students, resident physicians, and staff physicians are provided access to very personal aspects of one another's lives, which may not have been the intent. The question remains whether the separation of one's personal life from work is necessary. Should medical students restrict social media relationships with residents and staff physicians to professional social media networks? The suitability and opportunities of social media among medical professionals is an ongoing issue for research that needs continued evaluation.
社交媒体在职业领域的普及程度正在迅速提高。其在医务人员（特别是医学生、住院医师和主治医师）中的使用可能会损害个人与职业之间的界限。接受或不接受好友请求会对医学生申请过程产生偏见吗？如果接受好友请求，那么医学生、住院医师和主治医师就可以了解到彼此生活中非常私密的方面，而这可能并非本意。个人生活与工作分开是否必要，这一问题仍然存在。医学生是否应该将与住院医师和主治医师的社交媒体关系限制在专业社交媒体网络中？社交媒体在医学专业人员中的适用性和机会是一个需要持续评估的正在进行研究的问题。
