"OrganizedWisdom is organizing this wealth of health information from the health professionals, experts, and advocates who are using social media as a powerful communication platform for people searching online."
Dr. Krein states, "Dr. Charles Birbara not only meets the call as an Expert Curator, but exceeds the call, in terms of sharing his expertise and experience with autoimmune disorders online for the benefit of others."
"As a Medical Practitioner and Associate Professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, I recognize the importance of educating people so they can take charge and making intelligent decisions regarding their health," states Dr. Birbara, "I am pleased to be selected as a top Expert Curator by OrganizedWisdom's Medical Review Board for our social communications on Twitter and Facebook."
