Professional Communication
When posting on social networks, blogs, and websites, keep in mind this is an additional vehicle of communication that lives permanently on the web. You are not only representing the MGH Institute of Health Professions community, but also your personal brand. We encourage dialogue and sharing opinions and ideas, but please be professional and respectful when communicating online as a member of the MGH Institute community.
Blogging, Websites, and Social Media Networks
It is common practice for those who work in a profession to discuss and write about their expertise or experience online in a professional blog or various social media networks, such as Twitter. The Institute requires that you provide a statement on any professional social media profile, blog, or website that states, "The views expressed on this [blog, website] are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the MGH Institute of Health Professions."
Sharing online creates valuable conversations, from which we can all learn, but please keep in mind that this is an extension of your role within the MGH Institute community and will be viewed by the public. If you are interested in blogging for the Institute, click here.
Note: When participating in a personal blog, website, or social media network, remember to adjust your privacy settings accordingly and use discretion.
