Twitter can be a hub for experts, becoming a part of social media users’ networks and helping form what New York Times<\/em> technology writer Nick Bilton refers to as\u00a0“anchoring communities” of information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A trusted online source is usually among the top 5% of his or her network and shares relevant information that educates readers and followers<\/strong> within a particular field.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On that note, we’ve highlighted five physicians to follow on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sanjay Gupta – @SanjayguptaCNN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Gupta is most famous for his media work regarding health-related issues on CNN, but he’s also a professor of Neurosurgery at Emory,\u00a0Associate Chief of the Neurosurgery service at Grady Memorial in Atlanta and a former Surgeon General candidate when Obama first took office.<\/p>\n

Drew Pinsky – @Drdrew<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most famous on this list because of his television appearances on shows like Celebrity Rehab, <\/em>Pinsky is also a board-certified internist and addiction medicine specialist that does a good job of navigating professionalism and salaciousness.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mehmet Oz –\u00a0@DrOz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This Harvard grad and Oprah darling teaches at Columbia and recently co-founded Sharecare, a health technology startup featuring a QA platform for users with health-related questions.<\/p>\n

Kevin Pho – @KevinMD<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pho is an internal medicine physician living in New Hampshire, and is a leader in health care social media via Twitter and his influential KevinMD.com, boasting over 100,000 subscribers.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mike Sevilla –\u00a0@drmikesevilla<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Formerly @doctoranonymous, Dr. Mike Sevilla is a family physician, social media enthusiast, internet radio host and blogger who doesn\u2019t yet have the kind of following Kevin Pho does, but given the content of his tweets its only a matter of time.<\/p>\n
