Objectives: Explain what each doctor can do with non-promotional social media.
Introduction: Social media encompasses multiple sites for online communication that reach a large proportion of the global population. It offers great opportunities to share your passions and opinions using your own tone of voice to your community and the world.
Materials / method: PubMed, web and social media searches using key words specific to the topic of this lecture. Access to the Healthcare Hashtag Project, a free open platform for patients, caregivers, advocates, doctors and other providers that connects them to relevant conversations and communities (www.symplur.com).
Results: Beyond the marketing of your brand (name and practice) that we will not be addressed here, healthcare social media enables you to generate a non-promotional conversation with your peers and the public. Doctors are needed on social media where they can have a unique role in educating the public, promoting good practice, debunking theories that are not scientifically validated and pushing back misinformation (see also lecture 78257).
Conclusion: This lecture will assess why we need doctors on social media, what plastic surgeons have achieved and how dermatologists and others doctors should engage in efforts to become part of a bigger movement.
