Access to Webinar I Recording 

This webinar will feature two projects funded by the APTR-CDC Acceleration of Prevention and Population Health Education grant program. This program seeks to expand and support education by disseminating effective methods of integrating complex topics into existing courses and curricula. The topic areas of this first grant cycle were:

• Community resilience and preparedness
• Health equity and social justice
• Access to care

The products and resources developed through these projects will be posted on the APTR website before the webinars for broad public access and for tailored use by public health and health professions educators.

Learning Objectives

Webinar participants will be able to:

• Describe two teaching resources developed by APTR member faculty that can be used by other educators to teach the topics of community resilience and preparedness, health equity and social justice, and access to care.
• Explain why the teaching tools were implemented at the grantee's institution and with which populations of students.
• Examine instructor guides, facilitator resources, recommended readings and other resources to implement the training at other institutions.

Simulating an Infectious Disease Outbreak to Improve Interprofessional Collaboration, Health Equity, and Community Resilience

	Sabrina M. Neeley, PhD, MPH Associate Dean for Clinical, Global & Experiential Learning School of Education and Health Sciences University of Dayton Dayton, Ohio
	Zachary Jenkins, PharmD, BCPS Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice Cedarville University Cedarville, Ohio

A team of faculty from schools and programs in public health, medicine, pharmacy, and clinical mental health counseling from three universities in the same geographic area set out to develop an educational activity that would meet interprofessional education (IPE) accreditation competencies for health profession students from five disciplines (public health, medicine, pharmacy, clinical mental health counseling and nursing).

Outbreak Experience is an educational activity that places public health and health professions students in the role of interacting as a member of a multidisciplinary unified response team, requiring that they engage in effective teamwork as they collaborate in decision-making and communication in response to the rising threat of an infectious disease outbreak. The outbreak takes place in the Miami Valley region of Ohio, with the City of Dayton/Montgomery County at the center. The scenario in this activity is fictional but was informed by information and events from actual influenza outbreaks and Covid-19.

The activity can be implemented via face-to-face, synchronous remote using video conferencing software, or asynchronously. Curriculum materials will be available online, including an Instructor Guide, Facilitator Guide, facilitator training materials, background and supplementary information, student preparation materials, a competency assessment tool, online forums and a blog, and additional media content for the activity.
