How to get #verified.

A thread/

I am not an expert by any means.

But it took me 4 tries.

Each time I adjusted something that I think got me closer.

I thought I would share a few insights about how I think I got #verified so you can also.

Why?

The power of this platform is undeniable.

Now more than ever, the voices of our collective expert medical community needs amplification.

Too many out there remain #notverified who should be.

@verified science/medical experts = defeat misinformation

Here’s the form. And a few tips... https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScCxMT877v16ya7RnDQ5Lb9pdUDbPBVPdWgDS_ptlgXCwM72g/viewform

Tip #1 – Work on your profile.

Identifiable picture

Location accurate

Link to your institutional profile page

Account e-mail matches institutional email

Tip #2 – Work on your content. (I’m pretty sure they scroll through your thread)

Stick with medicine or science

Be professional

Keep the humor coming but related

Work on minimizing typos (I’m still learning)

Tip #3 – Synchronize information on all your professional pages (i.e. - same institutional email). And share these on your form.

LinkedIn

ResearchGate

Google Scholar

Other

Tip #4 – Provide up to date information in the form.

Current organization and title (same as the one on the other pages)

List publications that have your current affiliation

Took me about 2 weeks after my last application to get verified.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if this works.
