5 Reasons MDs
should be in
social media
1. It’s where the patients are
2. It’s where hospital and
healthcare systems are
3. It makes for engaging and
useful interactions with
vendors and colleagues
4. It’s social
5. It’s not mandated

why-physicians-should-be-in-social-media/

“We can’t value what we don’t understand.
And we’ll only understand what something can
offer by poking at it and trying it in different
ways. The world is increasingly networked. And
when you ﬁnd the right place to connect, share
and create, you’re likely to ﬁnd value.”

Let’s join
the conversation!
