Social media for health researchers

Survey on Social Media Use

We conducted a needs assessment with health researchers and trainees to gain further insight into content areas where health researchers self-identify as needing additional support or information related to social media use.

We asked health researchers to complete a brief online survey to help us identify content areas where you desire additional information around using social media professionally.

The survey is closed. An individual who completed the survey was randomly selected to receive the $100 CAD online gift card. Thank you to everyone who participated.

Stay tuned for results.
