In this episode we talk with Dr. Nisha Mehta, a radiologist and advocate who built two of the largest online communities for physicians, with over 200,000 members. We explore how Dr. Mehta uses social media to drive real change in medicine, from pushing through prior authorization reform to creating networks of support and resources for doctors facing burnout. With stories of navigating online challenges, the power of collective action, and the impact of physician advocacy, this episode provides insight into how doctors are harnessing digital platforms to improve healthcare for themselves and their patients.
Takeaways:
Large online communities for physicians can offer a crucial support system and help with issues ranging from career advice to mental health.
Prior authorization reform was achieved by mobilizing a physician network to contact legislators, highlighting the power of collective physician voices.
Advocacy and networking on social media can help physicians improve their work conditions and address systemic healthcare issues.
Balancing social media with a medical career is challenging, but strategic use of digital platforms can drive impactful change.
Digital communities can be a tool against burnout, offering doctors a place to share experiences, resources, and emotional support.
