## Caption

I just used the rise of GLP-1 agonist usage as an example; however, actively seeing patients is something in my mind that does help raise credibility of physician on social media for any topic they are discussing, whether it be controlling blood sugar, building muscle, or the latest in infectious disease.

🚨 Believe it or not, there are several physician content creators (who shall remain nameless, but we all know who they are) with large social media followings who do not actively see real patients.  Some of these content creators are also not board certified and did not complete residency training.

👉  Aside from attending physicians, I do also follow medical students and residents. 

👉 I do also follow retired physicians, many of whom have 30+ years of experience seeing patients.

✅ In sum, there are many excellent physician content creators on social media providing evidence-based assessments of the latest healthcare topics.  I just showed a few of the many I follow in my video. 

💪 Feel free to post your favorite physician content creators in the comments.  I'm always looking for new, excellent accounts to follow in different specialties.  I think we all would appreciate the recommendations.
