• Objectives: Social media and the subsequent proliferation of online communication forums have introduced dilemmas in CAP practice regarding the maintenance of professional boundaries with patients, parents, and colleagues. In one study, 73 percent of residents and fellows surveyed had a Facebook profile and reported frequent use. A recent survey of program directors (PDs) and chief residents (CRs) established that PDs and CRs vary in their initial approach to suspected social media-driven professionalism and boundary violations, suggesting a lack of consensus in what constitutes an online professionalism breach and how online-stimulated potential boundary violations should be addressed within residency training and the workforce. Methods: This Workshop will use brief video vignettes to illustrate online and social media professionalism breaches and boundary crossing; each video will also include a proposed solution. After the video presentation, we will engage participants in interactive experiences to enhance a familiarity with how these scenarios can be used in both teaching and remediation of e-professionalism. Results: Through use of mini-lecture, video vignettes, and audience participation, we hope to increase comfort among CAP residents and faculty about the appropriate use of social media, both personally and professionally, and how they may address difficulties that arise with patients and colleagues in an appropriate manner. Conclusions: We aim for this discussion to enhance participants' comfort level with the use of social media and arm them with tools to successfully navigate the social media and e-professionalism frontier.
