Join us as we welcome Dr. Lipi Roy as this year’s Forman lecturer. Dr. Roy will discuss how the pandemic has resulted in a resurgence of misinformation and disinformation that is easily and rapidly distributed on social media, the impact this can have on public health responses and its inevitable influence on the health of our communities. Now more than ever, it is important to understand the ways in which this information spreads, and how to develop strategies to curate messaging and guide the narrative with an ultimate goal of saving lives. It is incumbent for healthcare workers to educate the global community utilizing new innovative methodology and to develop strategies that incorporate traditional and newer communication techniques, including various social media platforms.
