About Course
In a world where more than six billion people are on social media, our patients and their families are often turning to Google, YouTube, TikTok, or even AI tools long before they ever speak to a healthcare professional. They’re searching for answers, reassurance, and clarity, but often find confusion, mixed messages, or misinformation. That’s why this moment matters. Healthcare professionals can no longer stay silent in the digital space. Your voice, your expertise, and your compassion are needed now more than ever.

Whether you’re a resident, nurse, pharmacist, or public health professional, this course will show you how to communicate clearly, create engaging evidence-based videos, understand what your audience truly wants to learn, and use digital tools and algorithms to amplify your impact. By the end, you’ll be ready to speak up for better health information and speak clearly so your message truly reaches and helps the people who need it most.
