Correction: How do Japanese medical students use social media? A large multicenter survey of platform preferences and career decision-making (Surgery Today, (2026), 10.1007/s00595-026-03328-7)

In the original publication, in the Results section, the following sentence was published incorrectly: “Conversely, few students reported using Facebook (1.9%) and LinkedIn (0.8%).” The correct sentence is: “Conversely, few students reported using Facebook (1.9%) and LinkedIn (0.5%).” This value is consistent with Table 1, which correctly reports the number of LinkedIn users as 7/1,515 (0.5%). This correction is purely typographical and does not affect the analyses, results, interpretation, or conclusions of the study. The original article has been corrected.
