Social Media and Hospice and Palliative Medicine
Social media is a timely and effective way to learn the latest in hospice and palliative medicine, meet others in the field, and have quick discussions on hot topics. AAHPM participates in many social sites and helps create a place for idea sharing and connections.
Twitter
There is a large Hospice and Palliative Medicine (HPM) community on Twitter that shares top news stories to keep you in the loop.
HPM Chat
HPM Chat is a weekly chat about hospice and palliative medicine/care on Wednesday nights at 6pm PT / 9pm ET. The chat is lead by moderators who determine a specific topic each week. Learn more at HPMChat.org.
