Mayo Clinic will host its second “Tweetcamp” on Thursday, April 23, 2009 to provide training for Mayo Clinic staff — and for others outside Mayo via Web cast, in how to use Twitter productively in health care. The course also will explore innovative applications for Twitter in health care, including upcoming examples such as Dr. Victor Montori’s April 27 Twitter discussion of his recent research paper on diabetes treatment, and Mayo Clinic’s National Symposium on Medical and Health Care Education Reform.
People from outside Mayo Clinic will be able to participated via the Web cast and Twitter, by following the #tweetcamp2 hashtag.

Comic sans are you kidding? You post a presentation on the website of a prestigious institution like Mayo using Comic Sans. You need to watch these videos.
