Description

Over half of the world’s population and 25-65% of healthcare providers use social media, which drastically increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic catapulted an already evolving healthcare and medical education system into a predominately digital space; which, created an opportunity to transform how we deliver clinical care, provide education, foster career development, advocacy work, and promote research. This webinar delivers an overview of how social media can be leveraged by clinicians, educators, researchers, and advocates to advance your mission. The webinar includes a question-and-answer session with an expert panel who provide examples and strategies in their own work. End technophobia with these expert speakers and panelists.
