FOAM or "free open access meducation"

This article exposes the idea of a single form of media that anyone across the world may access for free. Unfortunately, problems stated with this were, once again similar to those listed in past blogs where social media was used in medicine, privacy, lack of staff, unwillingness if staff and, newly, lack of peer reviewed content. The idea that this article brought forth was FOAM or "free open access meducation". the basic idea of FOAM was to create a form a media where anyone, anywhere can access medical advise, the only problem was, as mention, lack of peer reviewed content, which is essential in the medical world. Due to that many medical educators shyyed away from using a site where essentially, anyone can put anything. Fortunately, this concept is still in its trial phases and will be subject to change and improvement which may change the mind of many medical educators in the future, making FOAM something to look out for in the upcomming years.
