What med student has time to keep up with all the new medical news? I do! I love the fact that I can follow all these huge names like Medscape and Mayo Clinic on Twitter, which give me a 140-character synopsis of the best. Honestly I think that it's the most efficient way to see what's being published and what's being debated, as no student has time to scan through multiple sites daily.
Some fun headlines:
