Because of increased social media overall during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study examined social media activity among cardiothoracic surgery programs. It was found that cardiothoracic program social media presence has increased during the pandemic, with the most activity occurring on Twitter. Accounts are largely run by trainees in these programs, which the authors suggested could benefit from added training resources on social media.
