Overview

About this course

This self-development course is designed for the personal enrichment of healthcare professionals. It is not associated with any CME / CPD point.

Over the years, social media has increasingly influenced human interaction and communication. The rise of digital consumers during the pandemic has paved the way for many people, including healthcare professionals, to find their niche as influencers and content creators. Having a social media presence for physicians, however, poses its own challenges.

This self-development course shows the perspective of a medical educator and influencer on the impact of social media in healthcare and what the responsibilities and etiquette of physicians should be across online platforms.

Topics covered

  • What is the role of social media in today’s medical field?
  • What is a physician's responsibility in social media?
  • What are the dos and don’ts of a medical professional in social media?
