BrianSMcGowan              Next week for #CMEchat we discuss "Re-engineering the Data Stream" t.co/1LrsjMxX pls check out the worksheet t.co/E8J20UNh

BrianSMcGowan              @CME_COACH @timclynch @theCMEguy ...are we settling for level one participation? Hmmm....do Moore's level work for.social learning? #CMEchat

BrianSMcGowan              see one. do one. teach one. RT @dpguinee: Crickey!  I missed another #cmechat.  Happy to recruit participants if I could do better myself!

dpguinee             Crickey!  I missed another #cmechat.  Happy to recruit participants if I could do better myself!

timclynch             We have to all DM brian with all recruits before next wed for it to count.  RT @BrianSMcGowan: Deal! "@theCMEguy #cmechat

spelletier             Note: @CME_Coach's tweets aren't showing up in my TweetChat; maybe others I'm not seeing? Maybe fewer lurkers than I thought? #cmechat

timclynch             RT @spelletier: #TOTD RT @timclynch: It is like asking all those that didnt raise their hands to move to the front row. #cmechat

spelletier             #TOTD RT @timclynch: It is like asking all those that didnt raise their hands to move to the front row. #cmechat

dean_jenkins    @theCMEguy w00t more tweeterati  #cmechat

theCMEguy        @MedPedsDoctor If I can do it, you can do it :-) #CMEchat

theCMEguy        @dean_jenkins @timclynch Well, I'll be there this year, so that's at least one more... #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor               Thanks, Derek, for the topics and discussion today.  Thanks for allowing shameless plugs to my own blog. #cmechat

BrianSMcGowan              Deal! "@theCMEguy: @timclynch A free copy of @BrianSMcGowan 's new book? #cmechat"

theCMEguy        Thanks all for sharing today. Great idea; great suggestions! Lot's to think about! #CMEchat

theCMEguy        Shhh! Don't tell everybody... RT @spelletier: I'd offer a free subscription to Medical Meetings but it's already free #cmechat

dean_jenkins    @timclynch weren't many tweeters there in January. More next time?  #cmechat

theCMEguy        As per @BrianSMcGowan, your homework for #CMEchat 35 is to read the latest cover story in Medical Meetings t.co/bDdZPJmr

theCMEguy        @CME_COACH Ha! Just wait for my next tweet... #cmechat

spelletier             I'd offer a free subscription to Medical Meetings but it's already free RT @timclynch: Is there a prize for the highest recruiter?  #cmechat

timclynch             A back channel tweet monitor at the alliance meeting would be great.   #cmechat

theCMEguy        The real impact of the #CMEchat lies in your action - engage others to participate & please take action on things you have learned!

dean_jenkins    Recruiting by talking to others about what is of value here would expand  #cmechat

theCMEguy        As we get wrap up, please vote for the tweet of the day (#TOTD) seen during this week's #CMEchat

spelletier             Just added to my rss feeds! RT @MedPedsDoctor: My last few blogs ..topic of lifelong learning and CME: t.co/TSMy851i  #cmechat

theCMEguy        @timclynch A free copy of @BrianSMcGowan 's new book? #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Also, check out this site which reviews lots of chats: t.co/OQ2knoQL  #cmechat

dean_jenkins    @MedPedsDoctor subscribed to your blog's RSS feed thanks!  #cmechat

theCMEguy        Thx for participating in #CMEchat. All discussions herein are assumed to be personal opinion & not that of current or future employers.

timclynch             Is there a prize for the highest recruiter? RT @theCMEguy: @MedPedsDoctor If we could all get one new person to participate #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               another way to bring people in: cross-fertilization.  How many of you also follow the #meded chat (I'm guess-facilitating this wk)? #cmechat

theCMEguy        Didn't know you had a blog. Great! RT @MedPedsDoctor: My last few blogs ..topic of lifelong learning and CME: t.co/x0r8sjes  #cmechat

dean_jenkins    @spelletier I think 'broadcasting' and 'brokering' are essential parts of social network building.  #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               I've been in talks with my health system to start health-related chats.  It's a go! #cmechat

spelletier             What's more important, getting content of discussions out in gr8er CME community, or more participation here? I know, ideally both! #cmechat

theCMEguy        @MedPedsDoctor I like the idea of a commitment. If we could all get one new person to participate, that would be a great start #CMEchat

dean_jenkins    T4 expanding to Middle East, Asia and Australasia could be useful for expanding  #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               My last few blogs have been on topic of lifelong learning and CME: t.co/F2QDIwtP  #cmechat

spelletier             @dean_jenkins I know, broadcasting is anti-SoMe, but how else to reach those who aren't on SoMe yet? #cmechat

theCMEguy        Very true! RT @spelletier: @theCMEguy At least it would raise awareness, which is a start #cmechat

dean_jenkins    @spelletier publishing in magazines and blogs is 'broadcasting' for  #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               What we can all do right now: try to get ONE new person to look at the chat w/in the next month (recruitment technique) #cmechat

spelletier             Love this idea! RT @theCMEguy: T4 maybe a special ACME 2012 time at the Alliance with a monitor that all can watch - #cmechat

amcunningham @DavidPaulNoble  thank you:) #cmechat

theCMEguy        T5: 33 #CMEchat’s in the bag: What have you learned? Have you made any changes in your professional life?

dean_jenkins    T4 targeting guest discussants is another way of extending the community for  #cmechat

spelletier             @theCMEguy At least it would raise awareness, which is a start #cmechat

theCMEguy        What do u think @BrianSMcGowan RT @CME_COACH: T4 maybe a special ACME 2012 time at the Alliance with a monitor that all can watch - #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor               @spelletier which magazines? #cmechat

jjuch      Agree RT @MedPedsDoctor: #of those in community who dont know about chat: proportional to # of those in community who dont use SoMe #cmechat

spelletier             Good pt RT @MedPedsDoctor: # of those in CME who dont know about chat: proportional to # of those in CME who dont use SoMe #cmechat

theCMEguy        @spelletier That's a great idea, but do you think that would encourage more to participate? #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor               # of those in CME community who don't know about chat: proportional to # of those in CME community who don't use SoMe #cmechat

spelletier             t4 my ambition, seldom followed through on, is to write up the chats and publish them on our blog, Web site, magazine when possible #cmechat

dean_jenkins    T4 Alternate times, asynchronous activities (bookmarking, blogging, polling) are other ways of engaging with  #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Consider using tools already out there.  Asynchronous learning, use Doximity and other methods. #cmechat

theCMEguy        T4: Do we need to do more to promote #CMEchat? Do others in the CME community even know about it?

theCMEguy        Such as? RT @dean_jenkins: T4 provide other means of engaging other than the 1 hour synchronous session.  #cmechat

theCMEguy        Good question and good idea with the survey RT @jjuch: T4: is this the best time?  #cmechat

DownstateCME                greatt idea, sole academic ctr here :)RT @jjuch: T3: how about educators using SoMe from outside our industry?  #cmechat

jjuch      T4: is this the best time? (I know it's not for me). What about posting link to surveymonkey poll asking for feedback on times/days #cmechat

dean_jenkins    T4 provide other means of engaging other than the 1 hour synchronous session.  #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Talk of getting more consumers on #cmechat is equivocal to talk of getting more patients onto HC provider chats.  Agree #cmechat

jjuch      T3: how about educators using SoMe from outside our industry? We could learn frm others Sorry don't have any specific suggestions.  #cmechat

theCMEguy        T4: What can we do to get more in the CME community to participate in #CMEchat on a more regular basis?

DavidPaulNoble                @spelletier If all providers how we can we get more consumers/users involved to discuss their needs? is #cmechat appropriate forum for that?

dean_jenkins    Sorry "in and out" today. Typical. #cmechat

theCMEguy        T4 coming up... #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor               Guest tweeter suggestion: Gabrielle Kane. #cmechat

spelletier             I actually hope consumers are lurking. As a pt, I'm so glad you all care so deeply about MedEd and talk about ways to improve #cmechat

DavidPaulNoble                @theCMEguy  guest speaker  suggestion @amcunningham - hopeully she will pick this up! #cmechat

theCMEguy        T3: Any suggestions for a guest tweeter during #CMEchat?

MedPedsDoctor               @DavidPaulNoble Gr8 question.  One point is that ANYONE can be in on a chat.  # of non-docs on the #MDchat is not zero #cmechat

theCMEguy        Majority are providers RT @DavidPaulNoble: Question: how many providers of MEdEd vs c"onsumers" prticipate in #cmechat

spelletier             @DavidPaulNoble well, participators seem to be more MedEd, who knows if consumers are lurking? #cmechat

theCMEguy        IMHO, this is ridiculous RT @jjuch: ... fear of giving competitive advantage to others/losing it themselves #cmechat

DavidPaulNoble                @jjuch  Agree on competitive advantage (if you are a provider!). How can we rise above this? #cmechat

DavidPaulNoble                Question: how many providers of MEdEd vs c"onsumers" prticipate in #cmechat

spelletier             #TOTD RT @MedPedsDoctor: Reading summary is like reading the chart after a pt visit.  It is just not the same as being there live #cmechat

jjuch      Some people may also be hesitant to share info world for fear of giving competitive advantage to others/losing it themselves #cmechat

spelletier             me 2, but it's not the same RT @theCMEguy: I do if I miss one... #cmechat

theCMEguy        +1 RT @MedPedsDoctor: Reading the summary is like reading the chart after a pt visit.  It is just not the same as being there live #cmechat

DavidPaulNoble                @theCMEguy I think we might be missing a focus on the purpose of ongoing MedED, how it is used & consumed, by whom, how, where etc. #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Reading the summary is like reading the chart after a pt visit.  It is just not the same as being there live #cmechat

theCMEguy        I do if I miss one... RT @spelletier: @jjuch  wonder how many participate after the fact by reading the summary? #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               @theCMEguy As someone new to the CME world, I would love accred 101 in Tw chats #cmechat

jjuch      Agree. RT @MedPedsDoctor: People are still concerned about doing something wrong in SoMe #cmechat

spelletier             @jjuch good pt! I wonder how many participate after the fact by reading the summary? #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               People are still concerned about doing something wrong in SoMe: t.co/qRM7EAm3  #cmechat

theCMEguy        T3: If we could invite special guest participants, who would you suggest? And, how often would you like to see a guest? #CMEchat

jjuch      @spelletier joining late (sorry) biggest challenge for me is time. Takes less time to read summary than 1h every wed morning #cmechat

theCMEguy        T2 We have tried to avoid topics related to accred, regulation, grants, etc in #CMEchat. Am hearing some would like more. Agree/Disagree?

timclynch             T2, I may have missed the ones on the grant systems #cmechat

spelletier             t2 re repetition-we do tend to hit SoMe pretty heavily, but that's not surprising #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               IMHO the key is to "take the plunge": taking risks sometimes can be a good thing.  6 mo in Tw for me: g8 experience #cmechat

theCMEguy        Maybe. Have heard from some who r a bit "intimidated" to share RT @spelletier:  Can we improve chat env?  #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               @spelletier Gr8 ?  Some are so concerned with "what if I Tw something I didn't intend that could haunt me later?" #cmechat

DownstateCME                T2. ..the topics so far?more variety of topics needed; some policy, some admin not just current trends might bring more lurkers out #cmechat

theCMEguy        Agree especially with the pace that things change...RT @MedPedsDoctor: No such thing as too repetitive #cmechat

spelletier             Related question: What makes participating in tw chats daunting for some, IRL more daunting for others? Can we improve chat env?  #cmechat

theCMEguy        @CME_COACH Tried to do this with #CMEreg chat but it fizzled due to lack of interest #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor               No such thing as too repetitive, except for those who have made every single chat.  Often I tweet something identical to 3 wk ago #cmechat

audrie95              #CMEchat: Was anyone on the AMA TC yesterday? Did it differ from info presented at the task force mtg?

theCMEguy        OK, bringing this back to T2. How do you feel about the topics so far? On target? Too repetitive? Are we missing anything? #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor               @theCMEguy both are ok.  The freedom of choosing how to participate is what makes diff versions of SoMe what they are #cmechat

spelletier             Sort of OT note: some of us are wicked lurkers IRL, but vocal in tw chats #cmechat

theCMEguy        Would we rather have anonymous participants who share or lurkers who don't? #CMEchat

MedPedsDoctor               Is there a name for a "half-lurker", who comes out of hiding after a controversial comment? #cmechat

timclynch             It is like asking all those that didn't raise their hands to move to the front row. #cmechat

spelletier             MT @MedPedsDoctor: Tw chat lurker: akin to person in didactic who has great points to make, but chooses not to.  That is still ok! #cmechat

Sarina_Med       @MedPedsDoctor Totally Agree with you in this one ! You read my mind :) #cmechat

spelletier             @theCMEguy @cme_coach any lurkers willing to say why they prefer not to participate (I know, defeats the purpose of lurking) #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Tw chat lurker: akin to that person in a didactic who has great points to make, but chooses not to.  That is still ok! #cmechat

timclynch             How do you measure Tweet Lurking? RT @MedPedsDoctor: The key ?: how to "bring out" the lurkers.  Study on Tw chat lurkers?? #cmechat

Sarina_Med       RT @MedPedsDoctor: It is fascinating to learn about personality types based on tweeting.  Some are open: others are lurkers who come out occasionally #cmechat

theCMEguy        @DavidPaulNoble Interesting...I think we mostly try to avoid direct topics on accreditation for #CMEchat, but it does rear up occasionally.

timclynch             We could use t.co/jAMmYcs7 @spelletier @theCMEguy Does everyone feel comfortable sharing? Any lurkers want to answer this #cmechat

rmtyner               Michelle from Indiana - joining late #CMEchat

theCMEguy        T2: Do you like the balance of topics thus far? What suggestions do you have for future #CMEchat topics?

dean_jenkins    T1 I enjoy #CMEchat for the networks and the theory perspectives.

MedPedsDoctor               The key ?: how to "bring out" the lurkers.  Study on Tw chat lurkers?? #cmechat

theCMEguy        Nice convo going, let's continue on with T2... #CMEchat

DavidPaulNoble                I've kept to the fringes of #CMEchat, mostly because of focus on C which seems to be synonymous with accreditation - of which I am a critic!

MedPedsDoctor               It is fascinating to learn about personality types based on tweeting.  Some are open: others are lurkers who come out occasionally #cmechat

theCMEguy        @CME_COACH I think I agree, but tough to assess. How many are really reading but not sharing? #CMEchat

spelletier             @theCMEguy Does everyone feel comfortable sharing? Any lurkers want to answer this one? #cmechat

timclynch             IMHO recruitment is the duty for all those that value CMEChat RT @spelletier: t1: Id love to see different people get involved #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Info on Tw chats from previous Tw: t.co/6KRnyEG7 #cmechat

audrie95              Good morning #CMEChat. T1 - to help keep a pulse on the environment

MedPedsDoctor               Also, try to use this to collect info important to my work as an educator.  Today's point: using Tw chats.   #cmechat

theCMEguy        T1: Does everyone feel comfortable sharing ? Any issues with the "environment" or #CMEchat?

DownstateCME                just wish more wld participate.. RT @theCMEguy: T1: Are there improvements that would make #CMEchat a better experience for you? #cmechat

spelletier             t1 pt 2: nice to have some way to get links to related material ahead of time-I end up losing chat time reading links during  #cmechat

theCMEguy        Going to tackle this in a bit RT @spelletier: t1 part 2: I'd love to see more, different people get involved- #cmechat

spelletier             t1 part 2: I'd love to see more, different people get involved—can be a bit of an echo chamber sometimes #cmechat

timclynch             T1: Spirit of community, we all share in the mission #cmechat

theCMEguy        Agree. These chat are great forum for debate. RT @CME_COACH: T1: opportunity to debate the issues #CMEchat

theCMEguy        Yes! This is a big one for me! RT @spelletier: t1 and I love hearing ideas from people I haven't heard from before. #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Right on with this comment! MT @spelletier: t1 and I love hearing ideas from people I havent heard from before. #cmechat

theCMEguy        T1: Are there improvements that would make #CMEchat a better experience for you?

spelletier             t1 and I love hearing ideas from people I haven't heard from before. #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               T1. In the true spirit of CME, it's about learning.  Not a day goes by when I don't learn something new from SoMe, incl Tw chats #cmechat

timclynch             RT @DownstateCME: To keep current on CME issues and learn.  #cmechat

theCMEguy        Better late than never! #CMEchat

DownstateCME                To keep current on CME issues and learn. T1:  Why do you participate in #CMEchat?  #cmechat

timclynch             Tim from NYC here a bit late #cmechat

MedPedsDoctor               Sorry I am late.  Alex Djuricich, from Indianapolis, joining chat a bit late #cmechat

theCMEguy        T1:  I participate in #CMEchat because every time I do., I learn something new. Every. Time.

spelletier             t1 I participate b/c I always, always learn at least one new thing.  #cmechat

theCMEguy        T1: Let’s get right into it: Why do you participate in #CMEchat? What would make #CMEchat a better experience for you?

theCMEguy        OK, let's get started and hope a few more join in later. T1 coming up! #CMEchat

DownstateCME                Edeline in Brooklyn here #cmechat

spelletier             I do read the rules, but just as something to do while waiting for the good stuff to start. #cmechat

theCMEguy        Hi Karen! #CMEchat

theCMEguy        @spelletier Fine with me. I question whether anyone really reads them... #cmechat

spelletier             That might be one thing to change for 2012—post the rules somewhere and just post a link to them? #cmechat

theCMEguy        Hi Sue and Dean! #CMEchat

theCMEguy        Slow arriving group today. Everyone taking time to read through all the #CMEchat rules I'm sure...

dean_jenkins    Dean in Cornwall, UK. #CMEchat
