Over the years, many students and residents ask me – how do you keep up? For many years I had no good answer.  However, for the past 5 years I have increasingly depended on twitter to clue me in to important new studies.

I use other inputs – skim Journal Watch each day, listen to podcasts, check the NY Times health section and subscribe to NEJM Journal Watch.  But each day someone who I follow on twitter will clue me in to an important article.

Most readers of this blog are on twitter, and I would be interested in your opinion on twitter as a trigger for “keeping up”.
