Enhanced Worldwide Dermatology-Pathology Interaction via Facebook, Twitter, and Other Social Media Platforms.

The practice of dermatopathology requires close interaction between dermatologists and dermatopathologists. Yet, in many areas of the developing world, dermatologists lack easy access to pathologists with expertise in skin disease. Twitter, Facebook, and other social media provide free powerful tools that enhance interaction between dermatology and pathology regardless of geographic barriers. Although there are some limitations, the immense potential benefits that social media unlocks for patient care, education, research, and networking cannot be overstated.
