OVERVIEW:

This session presents arguments and considerations on the use of social media in the professional setting.

Everyone is using it now. But how can you successfully leverage social media to promote your work, trainees, training opportunities, programs, and clinical research? How do you decide when to post something about your work vs. home-work balance?

We invite you to hear from an outstanding and prolific panel of experts who have gained an abundance of social media experience to guide you on this evolving digital frontier. Panelist perspectives range from basic science labs to patient advocates to clinicians. Program directors will be holding a complimentary session.

Learning Objectives:

Following participation in this activity, participants will be able to: 

  • Make stronger decisions about how to manage your professional social media presence, including when and what to post 
  • Address drawbacks, pitfalls, and the panelists’ learning experiences leveraging #NeuroTwitter and social media to promote your work, lab, clinic, or community 
  • Identify panelists’ considerations on issues of equity at the crossroad of social media and their professional roles
