It just makes sense to have the “just friends” setting. I believe facebook is now open to anyone, not just students and so yes, patients or supervisors of the interns/residents could facebook these students and it makes sense to either watch what you put up or just use the setting that limits access to those whom you are fine with seeing all that about your private life. What I share about my private life with friends is not the same as what I may tell a client or employer.

Again, the behaviors or views themselves are not as much the issue (to me).

Corranged…a patient or interviewer may very well google someone or facebook someone. It is pretty common.
