As Harvard Medical School’s CME writing and publishing course, Writing, Publishing, and Social Media for Healthcare Professionals, draws closer (it’s in June this year), I look forward to seeing my colleagues, the other faculty members, many of whom I have known for over a decade\u2014literary agents, acquisitions editors at publishing houses, publicists, editors and others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Especially exciting, is the time spent reconnecting with writers I have worked with and hearing about their latest accomplishments. Some sign a copy for me of their now-published book. Others share their latest platform building wins\u2014from speaking at international conferences to becoming a podcaster or featured blogger on a large platform. And some, such as Dr. Randy Kamen, Dr. Carrie Barron, Dr. Craig Malkin, Dr. Diane Radford, Dr. Shawn Jones\u00a0 and others, return as published authors, speakers and guest faculty at the conference.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This year, I look forward to seeing Dr. James Zender<\/a>, who will be on a panel sharing successful publishing advice. His book, Auto Accident Trauma<\/em>, will be published by Rowman & Littlefield in December.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then there is the excitement of hearing about new book ideas and helping healthcare professionals think about the wisdom they have to share, how they want to share it (blog, book, social media or all three), and helping them shape their ideas. I heartily recommend this CME course to anyone in the medical profession who wants to write a book, blog, pen articles or increase their influence and impact in healthcare through writing.<\/div>\n

Dr. Zender’s Results of Attending the Harvard Medical School’s CME Writing and Publishing Course<\/h2>\n
This year, as I prepared my invitation email, I got in touch with several authors who recently published or are about to be published by major publishers. When I contacted Dr. James Zender, his news was more than I could fit in a brief email and I realized it would make a great post. So, without further ado, here are the kind of things that can open up as you attend the Harvard Medical School CME writing and publishing course, make a plan and start implementing it!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Before the book even came out, the activities that Dr. Zender’s literary agent, Linda Konner, digital media strategist, Rusty Shelton, and I encouraged when we began working together immediately helped him reach more people. He successfully pitched a column to Psychology Today and his posts often became featured on the P.T. home page. He grew an active Twitter following and applied to speak at conferences. Exciting highlights include:<\/div>\n
