  • Banner photo: Select a photo that represents your field
  • Headline: Brief description of what you do in 120 characters or less.
  • Contact info: Keep it current.
  • About: Focus on your accomplishments and aspirations!
  • Work experience - focus on applicable experience to your current role

Leveling Up:

  • Showcase your work by featuring your best posts, documents, media, and websites.
  • Skills and Endorsements: Highlight your skills and endorse others' skills. They will likely endorse you back!
  • Join Groups to connect further. This can be a great networking opportunity (e.x., nurses groups, cardiologists groups).
  • Follow topics and companies you are interested in. Be sure to connect with your hospital.
  • Follow influencers who inspire you and connect with your colleagues.
  • Share and/or Comment on colleagues' posts to show support, drive further conversation and potentially grow your audience.
    • At the bottom of each post, you will have the option to like, comment, share the post to your page, or send it via direct message to a particular user.
