Social Media Ambassador Program

Join an SCCM member community committed to sharing the Society’s mission on social media.

Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Social Media Ambassadors are a group of SCCM members dedicated to helping SCCM spread the word online about SCCM's mission to secure the highest quailty care for all critically ill and injured patients.

SCCM Social Media Ambassadors are asked to do one simple yet important thing—share.

Throughout the year, SCCM provides links to social posts to share and other simple actions to take to help make a difference. The more people reached, the more critical care can be impacted—it’s that simple.

An SCCM Social Media Ambassador is a critical care enthusiast and active on social media. Ambassadors promote and support SCCM and share critical care knowledge with his/her networks. Their voices offer peer-to-peer insight and builds the trustworthiness and credibility of SCCM’s online reputation and resources.

Hashtags: The Basis of an Effective Social Media Strategy

The Society aims to cultivate a community of advocates who contribute authentic, organic, and relevant information to social media about SCCM, its programs and activities, critical care topics, and more. SCCM empowers its members to use their own personal or professional social media accounts with SCCM’s suggested hashtags to drive engagement about activities, programs, education, etc. Using hashtags offers several benefits and is considered a best practice.

Hashtags optimize discovery. Hashtags make a topic more discoverable to a wider audience. Anyone can use a hashtag, so everyone who is interested can get involved in the conversation without any regard for hierarchy, position, membership, etc.

Hashtags increase traffic and engagement. Once you are easier to discover, you are likely to see higher social media traffic and engagement on your account. Hashtag searches occur on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms.

Hashtags showcase advocates. Using a hashtag cultivates advocates who are seen as trusted sources. In fact, Nielsen discovered that 92% of consumers trust advocates over businesses. Hashtags are a great way to help showcase advocate recommendations. SCCM members who use hashtags are spreading an authentic message that is trusted by others.

Members of SCCM’s Creative Community should not create social media accounts for any section, committee, group, product, or event. They should use an appropriate hashtag in their personal or professional accounts instead.

The Society has numerous suggested hashtags and empowers members of the Creative Community to use them. Our hashtag list is constantly being updated. Here are some SCCM hashtags that are currently in wide use.
