A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine has explored the use of social media, specifically Twitter, as a platform for educating clinicians about invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and related diagnostics. The study involved posting questions and educational content on a dedicated Twitter account over an eight-week period.
