Social media is a hub of opportunity for all. Anyone can make an account and connect with others across the globe through mutual interests, memes, or anything in between. One aspect of social media rising in popularity throughout the medical community is the idea of “med-fluencers”.
A med-fluencer (medical influencer) is a content creator who is either a medical student or professional who shares their personality through various mediums such as memes, educational content or inspirational and authentic content to create a community of like-minded individuals. We wanted to share some of our favourite med-fluencers across TikTok and Instagram who we find funny, motivational, educational or all of the above to make sure no one misses out on the amazing content these individuals make.
