5. Dr. Kevin Pho’s ‘secret’ for becoming a social media influencer, Ragan’s Health Care Communication News.
When Dr. Kevin Pho first started blogging in 2004, he didn’t think anybody was interested in what he had to say. At the time, only a few doctors were blogging and he mostly wrote commentary about current medical news.

6. Getting connected through social media, Medical Economics.
Pho always suggests to physicians that, at a minimum, they set up a profile on LinkedIn. It gets ranked highly by search engines, and it gives them the ability to have more control over what patients may find when they search online for them—and, Pho stresses, that is definitely what patients do.
