AMA LAUNCHES TWITTER PROFILE TO SHARE NEWS AND INFORMATION

CHICAGO – The American Medical Association (AMA) today launches a profile page on the social-networking site Twitter. AMA “tweets” will provide timely AMA news and information.

The American Medical Association helps doctors help patients by uniting physicians to work on the most important professional and public health issues. As the nation continues to work toward health-system reform, the AMA will use Twitter to provide updates on what is needed to better serve patients and to empower physicians to deliver the highest quality care.

Yes - serving patients and empowering physicians - all in 140 characters at a time.

My policy on comments

I'm adopting the policy of a blog I admire: “Comments are great; obnoxious comments get deleted. Deal." I also won’t post profanity, product pitches, or anything from anyone who doesn’t list what appears to be an actual e-mail address.
