Who’s misbehaving? Perceptions of unprofessional social media use by medical students and faculty
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Social media use by physicians offers potential benefits but may also be associated with professionalism problems. The objectives of this study were: 1) to examine and compare characteristics of social media use by medical students and faculty; 2) to explore the scope of self- and peer-posting of unprofessional online content; and 3) to determine what actions were taken when unprofessional content was viewed. METHODS: An anonymous, web-based survey was sent to medical students and faculty in October, 2013 at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York. RESULTS: Three-quarters of medical students reported using social media "very frequently" (several times a day), whereas less than one-third of faculty did so (p < .001). Medical students reported using privacy settings more often than faculty (96.5 % v. 78.1 %, p < .001). Most medical students (94.2 %) and faculty (94.1 %) reported "never" or "occasionally" monitoring their online presence (p = 0.94). Medical students reported self-posting of profanity, depiction of intoxication, and sexually suggestive material more often than faculty (p < .001). Medical students and faculty both reported peer-posting of unprofessional content significantly more often than self-posting. There was no association between year of medical school and posting of unprofessional content. CONCLUSION: Medical students reported spending more time using social media and posting unprofessional content more often than did faculty.

TL;DR
Medical students at one institution reported more frequent social media use and more self-posting of unprofessional content than faculty, though both groups reported seeing peers post unprofessional content more often than posting it themselves. Students also used privacy settings more often but rarely monitored their online presence, and posting did not decrease across medical school years.
Key findings
- Medical students reported heavier social media use than faculty: 34.1% of students used social media six or more hours per week versus 9.0% of faculty (p < .001), and 15.9% of students reported “do not use” or “less than one hour” versus 60.1% of faculty (p < .001).
- More students than faculty used privacy settings (96.5% vs. 78.1%, p < .001), but most in both groups reported “never” or “occasionally” monitoring their online presence (94.2% vs. 94.1%, p = 0.94).
- Medical students reported self-posting profanity, depiction of intoxication, and sexually suggestive material more often than faculty (p < .001); both students and faculty reported peer-posting of unprofessional content significantly more often than self-posting (p < .001).
- There was no association between year of medical school and posting of unprofessional content; students were more likely than faculty to take action if they found objectionable online information, with 13.7% of students versus 44.1% of faculty reporting no action (p < .001).
Methods
- Anonymous, web-based SurveyMonkey survey sent in October 2013 to all medical students and faculty at Albert Einstein College of Medicine; the 32-item core instrument was based on existing literature and focus groups, modified for each population, and piloted.
- Respondents included 496/781 medical students (63.5%) and 614/2713 faculty (22.6%); the survey asked about social media platform use, privacy settings, monitoring, self- and peer-posting of unprofessional content, and actions taken.
- Analyses used frequencies, chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests, and Spearman correlations for Likert scales; proportions were dichotomized into positive versus non-positive responses, with two-tailed alpha = 0.05 and SPSS Version 20.
Limitations
- The paper states responder bias may be present, especially in the faculty sample; lower self-report than peer-report of unprofessional postings could be due to social desirability bias; the faculty response rate was 23%, relatively low but not atypical for web-based physician surveys.
- The paper states the study was conducted at a single institution, so generalizability is unknown, and because it was survey-based it reflects respondents’ perceptions rather than actual online behaviors.
- Evident from the text: the design is cross-sectional and self-reported, with no independent verification of social media content or behavior, and denominators varied slightly because some respondents did not answer every question.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-09.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-09.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
