Residency information and monthly posts tie as the most useful feature of the blog, followed by links to dermatology resources and then department announcements.

The least useful feature was the comments section.

As far as comments for improvement these included:

1 I would like the comments section to be more active. In order for this to occur, more ideas need to be made to create discussion rather than simple posts. An idea is to perhaps have a virtual journal club where we review one article per month and then dicuss it and then maybe even invite the authors to leave comments. What do you all think?

2 We have the best DIG blog right now. Please keep up the good work and keep adding innovations like the ones that have been added throughout the first year of this blog.

3 I don't know!

4 The link should be posted on the main SOM organizations website for easier access.

5 no specific ways to improve maybe more posts by students who have matched, etc.

6 I think it's a great site with lots of information and honestly cannot think of things to improve it at this time.

7 I have only used the DIG website once, but the one time I did, I found it very easy to navigate and easy to find the answer to my question. I don't have any suggestions for improvement.

8 Unfortunately, as a first year I did not use the site that often and really do not have any constructive criticisms.



Thanks once more for your participation. Let's work together for another successful year of the DIG at UTMB.
