Mark Trahant discusses the transition from traditional mainstream media to social media and its impact on public health messaging, both to the patient and the physician.

Mr. Trahant is a writer, teacher and a “Twitter poet.” He is a 2009-2010 Kaiser Media Fellow and will be writing about health care reform with the focus of learning from programs the government already operates, such as the Indian Health Service. As part of his project, he files regular Twitter posts at TrahantReports.
