Phil also stated on the MDChat site that he was pleasantly surprised by the higher than expected turnout for the chat.<br /><br />I've been thinking in my mind about "structuring" the chat, and that has good, bad, and impossible points. One of the unique qualities of twitter chat is the ability to go in any direction in a discussion, and sometimes that's good.<br /><br />Too much structure and too little structure decreases the quality of the discussion. Hey Phil, maybe I'm already thinking like an MDChat moderator.

I agree with some of the assessments made. But I do think there was positive engagement among and between MDs and other healthcare professionals. We're doing our part to spread the word at our institution (@Einstein) to get more MDs on the chat. <br /><br />Perhaps in subsequent chats, a more structured set-up around one specific topic might work - in addition to announcing the topic before the chat so MDs and others come ready with resources, relevant links, etc. You want to encourage spontaneity but I think there's room for both structure and banter.<br /><br />Over all, a solid first effort and we look forward to more #MDChats. <br />Nice work, Phil.Paul Moniz, Albert Einstein College of Medicine @Einsteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-45822864351354127142010-10-05T16:07:23.021-04:002010-10-05T16:07:23.021-04:00Exactly - it takes a while to ramp up communities....Exactly - it takes a while to ramp up communities. <br /><br />The other thing is that as more physicians get involved, we'll start to hear more of their voices.<br /><br />We won't hear them, unless they participate. Clinicians are still a very tiny percentage of active Twitter users.<br /><br />We'll see. And I can't wait until you moderate! ;-)<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />PhilPhilBaumannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13168188607039308162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-29724501138901394102010-10-05T15:32:55.121-04:002010-10-05T15:32:55.121-04:00Thanks Phil.
