Jumping Into Professional Social Media in Medicine as a Newbie: The Spectrum of Benefits

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses their journey as a newbie in social media and medicine. They initially used social media as a way to stay informed like reading a newspaper. However, after attending a talk on utilizing social media, they changed their approach and began using it for research purposes. They started tagging the correct people and journals to reach a wider audience and gain attention. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they used social media to find information and discuss topics related to pediatric critical care. They also focused on a single topic, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), and shared their knowledge and experiences with other experts in the field. They collaborated with like-minded individuals and published articles. Additionally, they found social media useful for teaching, public health advocacy, and wellness. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the need to adapt and communicate effectively in a constantly changing social media landscape.
