As you can see, there is a large need for this information on social media...
Social media creates a huge opportunity to spread awareness, educate, and provide patients with information to self-refer to different programs, registries, research advocacy groups or genetic counseling. It also provides an amazing opportunity to educate patients about your products, services, or groups.
In addition, this is a large audience that has not previously been exposed to genetic testing or the availability of genetic counseling. This includes many patients from underserved populations who never would have heard of genetic counseling or genetic diseases outside of TikTok or Instagram.
Patients are on social media and have questions. I'd like to provide them with accurate information in addition to an easy way to connect them to services they need.
