This is the NSMC…
The Nephrology Social Media Collective (NSMC) is a collection of websites, initiatives, games, and conferences, that represent nephrology’s social media present and future. Members of the NSMC generate some of the most compelling nephrology content in the world.
Everything on the internet is made by people and the NSMC Social Media Internship helps train and season those people.
The NSMC was established in 2015 with the goal of training doctors to effectively harness social media in order to be the next leaders in nephrology and medicine. Being able to communicate through social media, newsletters, collaborative team-software…
These may be exciting and new today.
They will be table stakes tomorrow.
The NSMC Internship is a year-long commitment. Interns will be divided into 3 pods and will spend time in 3 different rotations primarily focused on NephJC.
