Social Media Challenge: #AMPtutorials
We are delighted to introduce #AMPtutorials, an AMP Training and Education Committee social media challenge designed to increase our community's educational impact. Participants create concise educational tutorials on molecular pathology topics and share them through social media.
2027 Social Media Challenge
The 2027 Social Media Challenge is now open!
Instructions
- Develop a concise tutorial (aka “tweetorial”) on any molecular pathology topic for trainees, technologists, faculty, and/or patients.
- Post the tutorial on a social media platform of your choice using #AMPtutorials and following the guidelines below.
- Submit the URL of your post to AMP. Only posts that have been submitted will be considered for a prize.
The Social Media Challenge Working Group will evaluate submissions and announce a winner in March, May, and August.
Submission will close on August 23rd, 2027 (11:59pm Eastern)
Tutorials should:
- Utilize the hashtag #AMPtutorials to create a unified space for educational content.
- Be short and concise.
- Be relevant to the clinical practice of molecular diagnostics.
- Promote high-quality clinical laboratory testing.
- Address knowledge and professional practice gaps.
- Be evidence-based and supported by publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
- Contain content free from commercial bias or marketing and present information in a fair and non-biased manner.
