How to add a suffix to your LinkedIn Profile (e.g., MD, PhD, PharmD, MBA, etc.)

If you wish to display a professional suffix to your profile on LinkedIn, here's how you can do it:

• Go to edit your profile.
• Type the suffix into your "Last Name" field. 
• My last name is Kim. However, on LinkedIn, my last name is entered as "Kim, MD, MPH."

It's simple, but it seems silly that LinkedIn doesn't have a field for your professional suffix.

How to create an elevator pitch (part 2)

Author: Michelle Mudge-Riley, DO, MHA

How do you create your elevator pitch?

The hardest part for most of the doctors I work with is getting started by thinking about their “story”.  Not only is it hard to make the time and feel the energy it takes to get your creative juices flowing, but also to know exactly what to say and how to say it.  We all have lots of stories – things that have happened to us, times when we felt like a failure, times when what we did resulted in success despite all odds.  But then that little seed of doubt creeps in and we wonder, “Is this story even going to be interesting to someone else  - or does it just make me look like a jerk?”

Get past that.  Laugh about it.  Shake your head and realize, “it might,” and then write it down anyway.  You just need to get started.  You can revise it later or change it all together when you do remember that brilliant story with the right blend of humor, humility and substance.  Or maybe you’ll just shrug and remember that you’ll never have the “perfect” antidote; we are all human and that is reason we connect to stories in the first place.
