Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital is the medical center in which served for the patient with advance conditions from community hospitals in Nakhon Ratchasima province. In the past, community doctors consulted the orthopedist by phone but detailed of clinical information was limited. Social app were popular because of its mobility and multimedia-ready system. Closed social network group was established for orthopedic consultation system in Nakhon Ratchasima. Community doctors asked the expert for management of the patients with orthopedic problem in chat room of the social app. The administrators of group summarized the consulted problems and noted for read later in another section of social app.
The questionnaire was responded by 50 members.
- 46 responders (92%) satisfied with rapid management in consultation system.
- 34 responders (68 %) utilized knowledge from live conversation in chat room.
- 13 responders (26 %) utilized knowledge from note in which the administrator summarized from chat room.
Postgraduate learning in orthopedic consultation system can be done via social app. Most of the community doctors/medical personnel utilized the knowledge from the job they were.
Postgraduate learning in social app is another way to merge the learning process on-the-job and daily lifestyle together.
I would like to express my special thanks to gratitude to my teachers Dr. Sorarat Lermanuworarat as well as Dr. Pairat Suksamosorn who gave me the great opportunity to do this wonderful study about medical education, which also encouraged me in doing a lot of study and I came to know about so many new things.
Secondly I would also like to thank my junior colleague Dr. Urawit Piyapromdee who inspired me a lot in finishing this study.
I am really thankful of them.
