The first spark of a Rheumatology Journal Club on Twitter:

@psufka @priyankc101 @DrBhana @hausmannMD @RheumNow I’ve had thoughts of a (research) project involving a Twitter based rheum journal club

Any docs interested in helping to set up a #rheum journal club (and maybe a research project around it), direct message me. #ACR14 #rheumedu — Rheumatology Pearls (@RheumPearls) November 18, 2014

@RheumPearls @psufka @priyankc101 @hausmannMD @RheumNow interesting. How would that work?

— Suleman Bhana, MD (@DrBhana) November 18, 2014

@RheumPearls YES! Great idea journal club! @psufka @priyankc101 @DrBhana @RheumNow

The #RheumJC hashtag arrives:

@hausmannMD @RheumPearls @priyankc101 @DrBhana @RheumNow I'd support a #RheumJC. From what I've seen, @NephJC would be model to follow.

— Dr. Paul Sufka (@psufka) November 18, 2014

Although @Rheumpearls has already been thinking about @RheumJC:

@psufka @hausmannMD @priyankc101 @DrBhana @RheumNow @NephJC Last year I registered @RheumJC …just haven't done anything with it yet.

And it becomes a real project:

@psufka How about "Using social media as a collaborative tool for meded content creation. Developing #RheumJC, a proof of concept study"

— Rheumatology Pearls (@RheumPearls) November 18, 2014

@RheumPearls @psufka I can work on outcome msrs and would be v interested in study design/participating/analysis.

@RheumPearls @psufka @Drbeckyg I’d love to contribute to this too if you’re looking for more collaborators.
