Abdominal Burkitt's Lymphoma: A case report and literature review

Digital and Social Media in Anatomy Education

“…Keenan et al, (2018) reported that 94% of medical students use at least one social media platform to support their learning, a trend which seems to be continuing according to the previous findings of Bosslet et al (2011) and George et al (2013). Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have been reported as the most commonly used by medical students (Hall et al, 2013;Foley et al, 2014;El Bialy and Jalali 2015;Al Wahab et al, 2016) to source and share information (Barry et al, 2016;Jaffar, 2012;Mukhopadhyay et al, 2014). In more recent years Instagram and Snapchat have become increasingly popular amongst medical students (Knight-McCord et al, 2016).…”

“…Jaffar (2014) suggested that educators create educational pages on Facebook which students join rather than using a Facebook account (which would require students and educators to become Facebook "friends") to communicate with students so that students feel there is a level of distance between their personal social media space and their educators. Despite these barriers, the literature suggests that the benefits of using educational social media platforms outweigh any potential negative outcomes (Al Wahab et al, 2016;Ali, 2016;Cartledge et al, 2013;Hennessy et al, 2016;Jaffar and Eladl, 2016;Pickering and Bickerdike, 2016). It can be argued that as long as anatomy educators acknowledge and respect the potential challenges (Peluchette and Karl, 2008;Chretien et al, 2009;Marnocha et al, 2015), introducing social media platforms may provide crucial early professional development for medical students who face a society where using social media to communicate and exchange knowledge is the reality (Bergl and Muntz, 2016;Choo et al, 2015).…”
