In the competitive and ever-changing healthcare landscape you can’t afford not to understand how social media can work for you–and the pitfalls to avoid.
- Does the very mention of social media make you feel a bit behind the times or completely in the dark about just how online networks like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn could possibly help your practice and your professional life?
- Do you see your competition on Google+ and rack your brain or drive your staff bonkers trying to figure out how your practice can have more visibility online when a patient searches for gastroenterologists in your area?
- And what about those doctor rating rates? Do they keep you awake at night or make you cringe?
- Do you feel completely powerless over your online reputation or your lack of any presence in the digital world?
- Are you afraid of social media because you don’t understand the various platforms, networks, lingo or “rules” of engagement?”
If you answered YES to one or more of these questions, then don’t miss this exciting, educational and helpful breakfast session at ACG 2014:
