The objective of this symposium is to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills to utilize social media to positively influence their professional career. Platforms include Twitter and YouTube, or web-based sharing platforms specific to research communities such as Research Gate. Social media based scholarship is specific to measurement of research dissemination through social media platforms. Emerging technology based platforms offer new venues of career development and self-marketing through the tracking and sharing of research breakthroughs and discoveries. The role of impact factor on tenure and promotion may eventually be supplemented or shared by alternative social media related metrics (altmetrics)

Learning Objectives:

• 1. Upon completion, participants will be able to list the requirements of social media based scholarship.
• 2. Upon completion, participants will be able to describe at least 2 ways in which social media can be helpful to personal practice and career development.
• 3. Upon completion, participants will be able to demonstrate an understanding of how alternative scholarship metrics can be recorded, tracked, and utilized.
• 4. Upon completion, participants will be able to demonstrate understanding of alternative social medial based methods by which research can be effectively disseminated.
• 5. Upon completion, participants will develop an appreciation for the impact of rehabilitation research using conventional and alternative metrics.
