What’s the Story? Part 2: How to use social media to do public scholarship

This event has passed. If you missed it, you can watch the recording below:


Patient-oriented research (POR) is an approach that involves partners with lived and living experience (PWLEs) at each step of a research study or project. To do POR successfully, it’s important to communicate in a way that is understandable and accessible to all research partners, no matter their perspectives, experiences, expertise, or background. Patient-oriented researchers also are interested in putting research into action by sharing research findings outside of ‘traditional’ academic publications and venues.  

To do any of these things, you need to be able to write accessibly. If you’re looking to improve your ability to communicate with a range of audiences and increase your impact as a public scholar, please join us for What’s the Story?, a three-part introduction to POR communications! 

Part 2: How to use social media to do public scholarship will focus on using social media to increase the reach and impact of patient-oriented research. Hear from CHILD-BRIGHT members about how they’ve leveraged social media platforms to reach potential research participants, engage the public, create community, disseminate findings, and more. 

You will learn:  

  • The latest social media trends in health care research

  • How to craft effective messaging for impact

  • How to keep a public engaged 

  • How to grow your audience over time

  • And more!
