The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians and the American Academy of Family Physicians would like to share a helpful handout that outlines some guidance to consider when taking steps to protect your information on social media.
The document describes common social media terms, provides tips to keep your profile safe and conflict free, and outlines the kind of content you should be posting on your physician account.
When engaging with social media professionally, physicians must be aware of the potential for burnout. Although some physicians report using social media to help with work-related burnout, social media burnout has been acknowledged as its own entity in the past decade and is connected to anxiety and stress disorders.
