Social media
In 2009, Jones began posting on social media about medical topics as a medical student with two goals: provide the public with accurate medical information and provide a “traveling CV” of her work. Her primary modes of communication were Twitter and her blog.
During her medical residency, Jones stopped uploading information to social media because she was a new mom and “was so busy and learning to be a doctor and focusing every ounce of [her] energy on being a good doctor and learning everything [she] could.”
Four years later, Jones rejoined social media, focusing her energy on Instagram, then moved to YouTube. In November 2021, Jones received a YouTube gold award for reaching one million subscribers.
