In our previous article, we presented our best practice for finding the right people to follow on twitter within a medical specialty. Those general Twitter tips will work for any healthcare organization looking to kick-start their Twitter presence regardless of healthcare specialty. In this article, we will take it one step further and present to you the end result of using those best practices in real life.
We believe this list contains some of the must follow Twitter users for pulmonologists, pulmonary medical groups, pulmonary patients and students of pulmonology. There are many that could have been on this list, but we’ve limited it to about forty Twitter users.
Let us know who we missed in the comment section!
