The document discusses a study on junior doctors' use of Web 2.0 technologies in clinical practice. The study found that most junior doctors used Web 2.0 tools for professional development, with wikis and podcasts being most common. Google was the most frequently used site. Doctors sought online information daily and perceived most content as open or user-generated. However, Web 2.0 content was rarely used for clinical decisions without validation from other sources. The study highlights both motivations for Web 2.0 use and challenges in distinguishing it from traditional online content.

5. Today we will focus on patterns of Web 2.0 use identified in the study (RQ1) RQ1: What is the pattern of use of Web 2.0 by junior doctors (JDs) in clinical practice? (e.g., frequent and favored sites)? RQ4: How are internet/web 2.0 tools incorporated into patient consultation and overall case management? RQ2a: What skills have JDs learnt and are employing in using Web 2.0? RQ2b: What are the limitations of web 2.0 that JDs have been unable to overcome? RQ5: What are the implications of the emergence of web2.0 tools for policy makers and medical training (as viewed by JDs)? RQ3: What are the triggers and motivations for using the internet and web 2.0 tools for JDs? (regarding a presenting complaint) Focus of today’s discussion
