Access to Webinar II 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.

Presentations

Acceleration of Prevention and Population Health Education:  An Online Curriculum for Interprofessional Education and Practice

Cara L. Pennel, DrPH, MPH Associate Professor, Preventive Medicine & Population Health Graduate Program Director, Public Health            University of Texas Medical Branch Department of Preventive Medicine and Population Health Galveston, Texas

Faculty at UTMB developed a planning, implementation, and evaluation guide for use by academic health centers, in which teams of interprofessional health professions students collaborate to identify multi-level causes and prevention strategies for health-related issues and propose an interprofessional, patient and population-focused care plan.

On interprofessional teams, students work together on a given scenario to:

1. Identify upstream, midstream, downstream causes for an individual patient, their family, their community (local), and broader population (state/national).
2. Identify evidence-based primordial, primary, secondary, tertiary prevention strategies for an individual patient, their family, their community, and broader population.
3. Describe racist, sexist, and discriminatory practices, systems, structures that have contributed to health inequities and prevention strategies to facilitate change.

4. Develop and present a patient/population-focused care plan for an individual patient, their family, their community, and broader population

Public Health Grand Rounds: Students, Workforce, and Community

		Rosemary M. Caron, PhD, MPH Professor Department of Health Management and Policy University of New Hampshire Durham, New Hampshire

The UNH MPH Program has offered in-person continuing education through a seminar series titled, Public Health Grand Rounds, developed to allow for an examination of pertinent public health issues by a diverse audience of stakeholders, including students, educators, public health practitioners, and community members.

Public Health Grand Rounds addresses community resilience and preparedness; health equity and social justice; and access to care. The student learning objectives in the series are aimed at the higher orders of Bloom’s Taxonomy and the series utilizes evidence-based pedagogical approaches and creative assessments while teaching relevant skills necessary to address public health problems. Further, this series illustrates the various private and public sectors required to improve the health status of populations via a Zoom recorded and facilitated discussion with local experts engaged in public health efforts. These discussions focus on select research initiatives, community programs, and policies aimed at addressing the identified focus areas.
