“…Experiences with debate-style journal clubs, for example, suggest the possibility of virtually extending traditional educational paradigms beyond single institutions and geographic regions. 18 Broadcasting journal clubs through social media has been successful in reaching larger audiences. 19 Similar opportunities arise for educational groups, such as the Thoracic Education Cooperative Group, to expand their networks into the virtual world.…”

“…published in cardiothoracic surgery to engage manuscript authors, readers, and the virtual community in scholarly discussion. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Article-level metrics (Altmetrics) are emerging as an important measure of academic impact 9 and are intended to bring a complementary online dimension to traditional citation-based metrics, with real-time data addressing how articles are being shared and discussed globally. Importantly, previous investigations have demonstrated that high online social media attention has been correlated with subsequent article access and citations.…”

Background. The Thoracic Surgery Social Media Network (TSSMN) represents a collaborative effort of leading journals in cardiothoracic surgery to highlight publications via social media, specifically Twitter. We conducted a prospective randomized trial to determine the effect of scheduled tweeting on nontraditional bibliometrics of dissemination.Methods. A total of 112 representative original articles (2017-2018) were selected and randomized 1:1 to an intervention group to be tweeted via TSSMN or a control (nontweeted) group. Four articles per day were tweeted by TSSMN delegates for 14 days. Primary endpoints included change in article-level metrics (Altmetric) score pre-tweet and post-tweet compared with the control group. Secondary endpoints included change in Twitter analytics day 1 posttweet and day 7 post-tweet for each article compared with baseline.Results. Tweeting via TSSMN significantly improved article Altmetric scores (pre-tweet 1 vs post-tweet 8; P < .001), Mendeley reads (pre-tweet 1 vs post-tweet 3; P < .001), and Twitter impressions (day 1 post-tweet 1599 vs day 7 post-tweet 2296; P < .001). Subgroup analysis demonstrates that incorporating photos into the tweets trended toward increased link clicks to the full-text article (P ¼ .08) whereas tweeting at 1 pm Eastern Standard Time and 9 pm Eastern Standard Time generated the highest and lowest audience reach (P ¼ .022), respectively. Articles published in adult cardiac surgery achieved the highest change in Altmetric score (P ¼ .028) and Mendeley reads (P ¼ .028), and were more likely to be retweeted (P ¼ .042) than were those published on education, general thoracic surgery, and congenital surgery.Conclusions. Social media highlights of scholarly literature via TSSMN Twitter activity improves article Altmetric scores, Mendeley reads, and Twitter analytics, with dissemination to a greater audience.

“…Virtual classrooms. Teleconferencing of grand rounds; educational and case conferences; morbidity and mortality rounds; debate-style journal clubs, as implemented by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center 16 ; and faculty-led and -scored mock orals, such as those at the University of Wisconsin 17 allow academic instruction to continue. The role of virtual technical-skills training through livestream, augmented and virtual reality, wearable and head-mounted devices, and pocket vessel-anastomosis kits could be expanded to incorporate new dimensions, audio and tactile feedback, and hands-on remote simulations.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges to the world's health care systems and society at large. In addition, the cardiothoracic surgical community faces the challenge of upholding its educational imperative to provide learning for trainees during the pandemic even as the scope of clinical experiences has changed. Here, we discuss relevant concerns of cardiothoracic surgery trainees during the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential downstream consequences of altered curricula, and ongoing methods and opportunities for trainees to maximize their education and involvement during this pandemic (Table 1). In times of public health emergency, the trainee's voice may too often be unheard, and a series of relevant interconnected elements of the cardiothoracic surgery trainee experience should be addressed (Figure 1). In this Young Surgeon's Note, we provide a global perspective to better understand the scope of the pandemic's effect on cardiothoracic surgery learners and prepare their educators during the evolving crisis and for the specialty's future. EFFECT OF COVID-19 ON THE TRAINEE EXPERIENCE Academic CurriculumMedical students and general surgery residents. The COVID-19 pandemic predominantly affects clinical experiences in subinternships and elective rotations, during which early surgical learners gain formal exposure to the cardiothoracic subspecialty. In the future, medical students and general surgery residents might consider pursuing shadowing opportunities and mentors during the first 2 years of their respective programs in anticipation of unforeseen barriers to adequate formal clinical elective time. Cardiothoracic surgery residents. With the international surge in patients with COVID-19, many programs have reallocated their cardiothoracic surgery house staff from surgical rotations to other areas of need, such as intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency departments. A recent international survey of cardiac surgery centers participating in the Randomization of Single vs Multiple Arterial Grafts (ROMA) trial reported that during locally advanced phases From the
