The Role of Physicians on TikTok.

Thrilled to talk to BBC news about the role of physicians on TikTok. I see my use of the platform as a creative way to educate and break down barriers between physicians and patients. I recognize that many physician colleagues are critical of TikTok and social media for physicians but I'm enjoying educating in a unique way. One question I answered but cut from the piece is my experience that TikTok is not only for dancing middle schoolers. With over 1 billion people downloading the app - many adults are on the space learning AND having a little fun!
