About this course
Social media is a powerful influence on physical and mental health, creating challenges that healthcare professionals must understand and address. Prolonged use can lead to physical issues, while the mental health effects, such as anxiety and depression, are becoming more common. Moreover, misinformation about health spreads quickly on these platforms, posing risks to public health. This course provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to identify these risks, differentiate between reliable and unreliable information, guide patients on safe social media use, and develop strategies to reduce the spread of misinformation, ensuring a safer online environment.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
