description PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This paper aims to discuss the growth of social media in urology over time, focusing on medical education platforms and best practices. RECENT FINDINGS: Social medial has facilitated physician and patient knowledge acquisition, conference participation, and mentorship. Several social media best practice statements are available, including from the American Urologic Association (AUA) and The European Association of Urology (EAU), to help ensure responsible use. SUMMARY: The role of social media in urologic medical education has been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Its utilization by urologists has been expanding, making it very valuable for physician and patient education. Future research should focus on ways to maximize these medical education efforts, minimize risks, and increase guideline awareness among users.
