Charlie Wray, DO, MS

Dr. Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of California, Francisco (UCSF) and the San Francisco VA Medical Center. He completed medical school at Western University – College of Osteopathic Medicine, Internal Medicine residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center, and a Hospital Medicine Research Fellowship at The University of Chicago. Dr. Wray’s research interests have focused on inpatient care transitions and care fragmentation in the hospital setting, overutilization of hospital resources, and more recently the use of telemedicine-based resources to improve care for socially-vulnerable patients. Additionally, Dr. Wray is an Associate Editor and Digital Media Editor for the Journal of Hospital Medicine (JHM) – where he helped establish the use of Visual Abstracts and the Twitter-based journal club; JHMChat. Dr. Wray is also the Director of the newly developed JHM Editorial Fellowship. When not fulfilling these duties, Dr. Wray can often be found tweeting at @WrayCharles or trying to keep up with his two young boys.

Learning Objectives:

1. Upon completion, participants will understand the outreach, evidence, and engagement characteristics of the social media platform Twitter.
2. Upon completion, participants will have established and optimized a personal Twitter account and begun to engage and connect with other physicians in the hospitalist community and beyond.
3. Upon completion, participants will understand specific mechanisms to engage with other hospitalists, disseminate their academic production, and increase their digital footprint within social media. 

We look forward to seeing you there.

Best wishes,

Stephanie and Steve
