Determining the effects of social media engagement on surgery residents within the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons
The study reveals low social media engagement via X among osteopathic surgical residents, with notable variation across surgical specialties. This limited engagement suggests exploring and refining social media strategies that foster mentorship connections within the osteopathic surgical community. Future studies should examine other social media platforms and alternative engagement approaches to enhance the reach and impact of mentorship initiatives, ultimately supporting osteopathic medical students as they navigate career paths in surgery.
