Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and blogs anchor groundbreaking training curricula
Everyone’s heard of social media, but not everyone knows that the prestigious Mayo Clinic is leading the way in best practices for the use of social media in the health care sector. Mayo is opening a Center for Social Media to teach other health care organizations the smartest ways to use Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and other media to build pathways between doctors and their patients.
Lee Aase, manager of syndications and social media at Mayo, has spoken at MnSCU marketing conferences about how Mayo has embraced social media as one of the most direct tools to get medical news to the general public. With an $800,000 annual budget and eight employees, the Center for Social Media will feature workshops and consulting services. The center will also host conferences about social media.
