Throughout medical school, we learned medicine and developed clinical and patient communication skills. But when I stepped out of medical school and started exploring different careers and wanted to build a resume or portfolio, it just took me so long. When I saw the work of others online, posting carousels, animated portfolios, and stunning presentations, it amazed me; at the same time, I felt myself lacking some essential skills to showcase my work online. Though I love creativity and draw sketches, creating a simple digital image to support my content felt like a daunting task. I believe in this digital era, even doctors need to learn tech; many of them are already building apps out there. This was like a new realization for me, so I just began my digital journey with the basic _Canva_ course a month ago. I’m still a beginner, but I created a creative portfolio for myself, which has fueled my digital creativity as well. 💭 What digital skill do you think doctors need to master? MBH/PS ---

It’s a creative idea to presenting knowledge on digital platform for doctor but, is that necessary for doctor to build online portfolio - not needed that much doctor with essense of knowledge about their field that reflects through their work, not all doctors shows much interest in to come and talk on digital platform. ---
