Back to the listingUnderstanding Mpox: A World Health Issue
Provider: New England Public Health Training Center
Description: Mpox is a growing concern in the United States and around the globe due to its sustained transmission, genetic variability, and potential for severe health complications. Once endemic solely to regions within Central and Western Africa, mpox has spread to over 110 countries and territories. The world is experiencing a public health emergency of international concern, yet we have the tools at our disposal to address mpox, such as vaccination and antivirals. This course is designed to create a heightened awareness among the public health community of the disease and the actions that can be taken to prevent outbreaks, reduce stigma, and educate others.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: 1) Analyze the public health significance of mpox, including its epidemiology, transmission dynamics, and societal impact, 2) Evaluate the role of education, prevention, and treatment strategies in addressing mpox outbreaks and reducing stigma, 3) Critically examine the challenges and opportunities in mpox management, including global and local efforts to control its spread, and 4) Develop community-focused approaches to improve awareness, reduce misinformation, and enhance preparedness for future mpox outbreaks. This course is free and the estimated time of completion for this course is 1 hour. Learners will receive a certificate of completion and Continuing Education Contact Hours (CHEC)/Master Certified Health Education Specialists (MCHES) are available to learners for free.
