5 Key Social Media Techniques for Physicians

Social media can be a helpful tool for physicians and ambulatory surgery centers, but it can also cause ethical and legal issues if used incorrectly. Here are five tips to better navigate social media use for physicians from Medscape.

1. Do not offer medical advice. Save the physician-patient relationship for the examination room.

2. Do provide educational material. Teaching the audience is one of the best ways to encourage them to keep coming back. Make sure information is timely and credible.

3. Consult. Share medical information for educational purposes. 

4. Make sure to market. Emphasize the things that set you or your practice apart. 

5. Become an expert. Proper use of media can lead to a larger following, which may lead to business.
