I couldn’t agree with you more. Students in general tend to have that extravagant transparency that is sometimes taken for granted. They couldn’t blame the internet, you know.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for stopping by. I enjoyed reading your article as it points to some important issues regarding how students will handle growing up in this new age of social media. I hope to see more pharmacists actively engage in social media; it’s a great way to make contacts and learn new and exciting things.

Keep up the good work. Talk to you soon.

Jerry,

This is my research article that you wrote about. Thanks for providing it an additional means of distribution.

I serendipitously discovered your blog through my online reputation monitoring process and have now added it to the blogs I’m following. Nice work.

Hi Charles – Thanks for the comments, but I’m not really trying to hide. I have accounts on Twitter (@JFahrni) and Linkedin (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jerry-fahrni/13/9/4a). Feel free to contact me through either of these sites or leave a comment here. I don’t put my email online because of all the spam it generates, but I’d be happy to give it to you via Twitter or Linkedin. In terms of mobile/software, it depends on what you want. Get in touch with me and we can talk more. I work at Kaweah Delta in Visalia, CA (http://www.kaweahdelta.org/). Call the main hospital number and ask for me by name, they’ll get you to the right spot. Good luck with your rotations.

I’m a pharmacy student with accounts on various social sites and while my answers line up pretty well with the students interviewed I am starting to agree with the conclusion you draw. I tried to look up your email a few days ago so that I could send you an email about this site (boiled down: what mobile/software would you recommend for the pharmD student about to start rotations). With the exception of this website you do a great job of hiding online, and this website is devoid of contact info (no contact or who is data, even CV doesn’t list it). So good job for practicing what you preach. The more I read over your blog the more I like it, I hope you make your one year anniversary with it.
