The departmental journal club (JC) is a well-established form of continuing professional development (CPD). Social media offers a range of interactive online platforms, allowing the traditional JC to move from a formal educational meeting with local health professionals to a digital platform with users across the world. The authors created the General Internal Medicine JC (@GIMJClub) on Twitter and following a year of activity retrospectively analysed the participation and impact of this medium of JC delivery. There were 61 different participants across different continents, specialties and levels who participated in the 12 JC sessions and sent 1,543 tweets in total. Factors that appeared to influence the success of an individual JC session included choosing diverse, topical papers to discuss and a wide range of hosts. This work demonstrates the success of a Twitter-based general internal medicine JC for CPD. @GIMJClub facilitated unique and diverse interactions not otherwise available.
部门期刊俱乐部（JC）是一种成熟的继续职业发展（CPD）形式。社交媒体提供了一系列交互式在线平台，使传统的期刊俱乐部从与当地卫生专业人员的正式教育会议转变为一个面向全球用户的数字平台。作者在推特上创建了普通内科期刊俱乐部（@GIMJClub），并在开展活动一年后，对这种期刊俱乐部传播媒介的参与情况和影响进行了回顾性分析。来自不同大陆、专业和级别的61名不同参与者参加了12次期刊俱乐部会议，共发布了1543条推文。似乎影响单次期刊俱乐部会议成功的因素包括选择多样的、热门的论文进行讨论以及众多的主持人。这项工作证明了基于推特的普通内科期刊俱乐部用于继续职业发展的成功。@GIMJClub促进了独特且多样的互动，而这些互动通过其他方式无法实现。
