Social Media for Health Professionals (2025)

In January of 2025 I was given the task of evaluating and repurposing three older social media courses into a new social media course titled ‘Social Media for Health Professionals’.

I was told that the original courses were born out of an eCampus grant to create microcedential courses, but they were never completed due to a change in directors. The previous courses were titled ‘Your Online Identity’, ‘Pitfalls Press and Professioanlism’, and ‘Social Media and the Health Professional’.

For the new course, I did away with most of the previous content due it being outdated and very platform specific to Twitter. I designed the new course around the following major topics: online identity, cautions, and considerations.

Course development finished in February 2025. I oversaw the running of the course from when registration opened in March 2024 until a new version of the course was launched in October 2026
