Episode 050 - Building a Social Media Presence with Owais Durrani, DO

It is hard to believe that the ACOPedscast is celebrating its 50th Episode this month! Jason and Scott celebrate it the only way they know how, by sitting down to the mic and welcoming an extremely special guest to the Pedscast studio Dr. Owais Durrani, DO. Dr. Durrani is an emergency medicine physician out of Houston, Texas and a fierce healthcare advocate in the social and traditional media atmosphere. Utilizing his straight-to-the-camera approach to comment on current events, Doctor Durrani has amassed a impressive social media following of over 18,000 on Instagram alone, not to mention appearances on CNN, MSNBC, and BBC News America just to name a few. He also utilizes his platform to create a monthly television show called STEM City encouraging children to take up an interest in STEM based learning and careers. Scott, Jason, and Owais spend this month’s podcast discussing how Dr. Durrani found his way to media advocacy, how he has managed to build up the following he has, and how he incorporates advocacy into his daily life. We could not have asked for a better guest to celebrate our 50th episode and are sure that you will feel the same after listening to the inspiring words he has to share about how you too can start to build a presence and a platform for healthcare advocacy on social media and beyond. This is definitely one to save and relisten to… Happy Listening! ~Jason and Scott Looking to connect with and learn more about Dr. Durrani, he can be found online at: - Instagram: @acedurrani - Bluesky: @owaisdurrani.bsky.social - Twitter/X: @owaisdurrani - Website: www.owaisdurrani.com - YouTube: @drowaisdurrani
