Mapping Five Years of #FOAMed: Trends, Engagement, and Shifting Topics on Twitter/X
Listen to this summary
This study aimed to analyze the evolution of thematic content and user engagement trends in #FOAMed tweets over a five-year period on Twitter/X. By employing natural language processing and bibliometric methods on 6,000 high-engagement tweets, the authors identified ten distinct topics and observed a shift in focus from COVID-19 and critical care to areas like prehospital care and point-of-care ultrasound. The findings highlight the dynamic nature of FOAMed discourse and underscore the importance of content quality in driving engagement within digital medical education.
