The thing about working in the healthcare industry is that it’s impossible to know enough. Policies, laws, technology, and culture are constantly changing.
Luckily, we’re alive in the time of Twitter, a place where information flows freely, twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week. Twitter breaks for no man/woman. Here is a compilation of some of our favorite accounts that will help you stay on top of all things healthcare, all the time.
