Healthcare Professional Education
Master Social Media Like a Pro — Taught by Dr. Sugai Himself
The Man Behind The Academy
Dr. Daniel Sugai
Harvard-educated, board-certified dermatologist · @DrSPF · 2MM+ social followers
I started social media in February 2020 — my medical assistant literally downloaded Instagram onto my phone for the first time. Before that, I only had Facebook, and the occasional YouTube video to figure out how to fix something around the house.
Years and thousands of posts later, I've grown an audience of more than two million followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. My mission is to be a credible resource of expert medical information through content that's informative and entertaining — and to teach other healthcare professionals to bring their own passion, expertise, and credibility into the content space, the right way.
That's exactly what I built The Sugai Academy to do. Whether you're just getting started or ready for hands-on guidance from me directly, there's a path for you inside.
Let's Create, Influence, and Succeed Together
Everything I know about building a healthcare brand online, in one place.
Both programs give you access to the full body of what I teach — the difference is how much of me you get along the way.

I DID IT AND SO CAN YOU
I started social media in February of 2020. My medical assistant one day grabbed my phone and downloaded the Instagram app for the first time. Before then I only had Facebook and would occasionally jump on YouTube to learn how to fix something around the house.
After years of creating thousands of posts and growing an audience of over 2 million followers, I'm going to teach you exactly how I did it—across all major platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more.
I’m excited to announce The Sugai Academy.
