I'm Dr. Joshua Schwimmer, a nephrologist and internal medicine physician in New York City. • Kidney Notes was the first active nephrology blog. (Trivia: Kidney Notes is so old that the National Library of Medicine still uses it as an example of how to formally cite blogs.) • Professionally, you can find me at Kidney.nyc. • Kidney Notes is for educational purposes only, not medical advice. Consult qualified health care professionals. See disclaimer.

Doctors and Medical Students on Twitter

I'm surprised more physicians and medical students don't use Twitter. It's a useful tool — for example, see the sidebar of this blog, this post on Medicine 2.0, and this post on Clinical Cases and Images.

Update: To improve performance, I'm transferring the Doctors on Twitter feed to the Doctor's Room on FriendFeed. Please visit http://friendfeed.com/rooms/doctors, and join the room. If you're a doctor or medical student, please
  1. Click on "Share Something."
  2. Click "Import your stuff."
  3. Import your Twitter feed, blog feed, etc.
The following is a list of doctors and medical students on Twitter:If you'd like to add your name to the list, please post a comment.
