Recently, social media becomes a trend and a tool in health care and medical education. However, for most educators, social media was only thought to spread and share the information in virtually. Therefore, it would be a big challenge to utilize the social media to make students increasing the interest and motivation to bedside for clinical practices.

We choose the major topic about the knowledge and skill practices of emergency ultrasound to create a private group in Facebook. It makes medical students(clerks/interns) learning voluntarily after duty.

During 2 years, about five hundred students joined this learning group. The lecture course were arranged between 19:00-21:00 in Tuesday per week (attendance : 60-80 persons/every class ). Besides, the worskshop was always full with participants(8 persons/every class).

Surfing in this learning group of Facebook not only has advantages of spreading information in network, but also creates learning trend between peer. This social-learning group will produce many issues in network and encourage sonographic practices and discussion in reality, not only in virtually. Besides, it also contacts educators with students without limitation and gets better feedback.
