About this Webinar
Traditionally, public health and the medical society relied on abdicating the responsibility to the patient and expecting the patient to improve their health. For example, a pre-diabetic patient is given health and nutrition education and is expected to adjust their diet and exercise to improve their health, leaving the responsibility to the patient. In this webinar, the speaker will discuss the importance of building public health solidarity between the provider, public health professional, government agencies, and the community to respond effectively to various health conditions and future pandemics. This session will discuss the collective experience of COVID-19, rebuilding trust and expertise, and understanding risk mitigation. The speaker will present a COVID-19 case study and engage attendees in group discussions.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the collective experience of COVID-19.
- Explain how to rebuild trust and expertise post-COVID.
- Identify, prioritize, and evaluate risks.
