DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast
Education:How To
“Each week is definitely a new week and I think that has kept me going in my clinical role, having those interests outside of what I traditionally do.” - Dr. Kevin Pho of KevinMD
In episode 167, Dr. Jen Barna welcomes Dr. Kevin Pho of KevinMD to the podcast. Dr. Pho is a practicing, board-certified internal medicine physician, a national media commentator, co-author of the book, Establishing, Managing, and Protecting Your Online Reputation: A Social Media Guide for Physicians and Medical Practices, and an acclaimed keynote speaker. In this episode, he tells Dr. Barna about what his week usually looks like and why he thinks it’s so important for physicians to have identities and interests outside of their clinical roles. He also explains why social media can be so powerful for physicians to use for many different reasons and outlines how and why it can be useful. He also shares what he has on the horizon for KevinMD and his other projects.
Dr. Kevin Pho is the owner, founder, and editor of KevinMD.com, where he also conceives and executes digital strategy, and directs technology infrastructure. It now receives over 3 million monthly page views, and exceeds 250,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter.
His commentary regularly appears in USA Today, where he is a member of its editorial Board of Contributors, as well as CNN and the New York Times. His opinion pieces highlight the challenges everyday doctors face, ranging from the primary care shortage to the epidemic of physician burnout.
Kevin understands the nuanced issues that clinicians face when they manage their online reputations, expand into the social media space, or prepare a high-stakes keynote speech. He shares his extensive experience through personalized, 1-on-1 coaching.
Kevin received his medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine and practices primary care in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was a member of the New Hampshire Union Leader’s 40 Under Forty, an inductee to the Healthcare Internet Hall of Fame, recipient of the American Medical Writers Association’s McGovern Award, and named a top doctor in the state by New Hampshire Magazine in 2017 through 2020.
