Using scaffolding support to help all health professionals manage complicated patients
Phyllis Blumberg, PhD January 15, 2021
Phyllis Blumberg was pleased to be asked to present at the Annual Faculty Development series of NYU Langone Dental Medicine, Postdoctoral Residency Programs. She presented remotely to over 200 dental faculty who teach and supervise dental residents across the country. The topic of using scaffolding support to help all residents manage complicated patients was well received. The session was quite interactive, and the audience demonstrated that they learned how to use scaffolding. Dr. Blumberg can make similar presentations for other health professional faculty supervising students, residents, or other trainees.
Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.
You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about
Take a few moments to plan your post
Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.
Don’t forget to add images
Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.
Edit carefully before posting
Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add, and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
