Developing Your Professional Network

Technology, in particular social media platforms, can help neurologists at all career levels develop and expand their professional network. For example, Facebook hosts several private neurologist groups (such as Women Neurologist Group or WNG) that allow community development and connection.   Historically, Twitter/X hosted a vibrant community of neurologists (#neurotwitter) but with changes to that platform there has been exploration of alternate social media spaces to engage in network development and education.   By allowing access to a broad community of neurologists, social media facilitates network formation beyond the institution walls and outside the traditional hierarchy, holding a great deal of potential for career development & growth.
