Impact of Social Media on Training in Gastroenterology and Endoscopy: “An International Series of 521 Participants”

Social media (SM) are part of our daily lives. Whether we like it or not, social media has become an integral part of our society. Based on Statista estimates, there were 4.5 billion people using social media in 2022 [1], with this figure projected to rise to nearly 6 billion by 2027. A significant number of users, including gastroenterologists (GE), are on SM every day. But how much time do they spend surfing and what impact does this have on gastroenterology training? The aim of our study is to assess the extent to which gastroenterologists are currently using social medias and its impact on their learning and training.
