Title
I Have a Degree.. I Am Well Trained... No One Knows Me...how to Tell Patients I Exist?
Summary
A Common Dilemma Faced by Young Ophthalmologists Starting Their Careers, Especially If They Choose a New Town or City to Set up Private Practice Is How Do They Ethically Spread the Word That They Are Available and Capable of Delivering High Quality Eye Care at Affordable Rates? My Co-instructors Are Youngsters and Not so Young Ophthalmologists Who Made It Successfully. They Share Their Insights Into Use of Social Media, Like Linked In, Face Book, Reels, Instagram, You Tube and Other Means, Including Good Old Word of Mouth Publicity to Attract More Patients to Your Doorstep. This Course Is Essential for All Youngsters About to Start Practice and Those in Practice Since Some Time but Getting Frustrated with Poor Patient Footfalls at Their Doorstep
Resume
I am a senior practitioner with 40 years in practice who has seen it all in private practice, from having month long waiting lists for OPD appointments in early days when there were more patients and very few qualified ophthalmologists to waiting months for patients to take an appointment. I have witnessed what works and what doesn't in attracting patients to your private practice and marvelled at how some youngsters made it big while still remaining ethical. In this IC, I aim to teach youngsters to fully use the social media tools at our disposal to enhance their practices and gain visibility
