TRENDING MEDICAL EDUCATION TOPIC: EPIDEMIOLOGY

With constantly changing information about COVID-19 and Monkeypox and other infectious disease issues that may arise, physicians must understand the most up-to-date information on these infections, their epidemiology, and possible prevention and treatment options. Additionally, with the emergence of poliovirus in NY, we must discuss this previously eliminated disease. ACIP recently approved updated boosters for COVID-19, so healthcare professionals need to know the current recommendations for various groups.

Here are the learning objectives a speaker from Medical Education Speakers Network can help your staff accomplish in a session:

• Describe current epidemiologic characteristics of the COVID-19 pandemic, including transmissibility and severity of illness.
• Detail effectiveness of available vaccines in protecting against the Omicron variant.
• Describe the epidemiologic characteristics of the Monkey pox outbreak.
• Explain the current polio situation in New York
