Social Media and Finstas

SERIOUS

Throughout medical school, I had a private IG account. I have other accounts that are public or are connected to my IG. Currently I’m wondering while heading into residency if I should make all my accounts private and/or make a Finsta. I don’t post anything nsfw nor would I spend time being mean online, and you won’t see me doing inappropriate skits, but I do want the freedom to talk about things I’m passionate about without someone trying to use my job against me. My residency program doesn’t restrict our social media use and I still see residents on social media post very transparently about their experiences in residency but my interests are not only medicine. How have yall navigated social media in residency?
