Join CIDRAP ASP for a live webinar on November 14, 2023, at 1pm CST / 2pm EST / 7pm UTC
Summary
Undergraduate and non-clinical students have few opportunities to learn about issues surrounding antibiotics and vaccines, despite the fact that all people should be empowered with knowledge about these topics and the role they play in ensuring their wise use. Since 2016, CIDRAP staff have given guest lectures describing why vaccines and antibiotics are not perfect solutions to stopping an infectious diseases outbreak for a University of Minnesota freshman honors seminar on epidemic management. These lectures incorporate history, science, current events, ethics, and rich discussion. This webinar will provide a glimpse into methods of communicating about antibiotics and vaccines to college students who have diverse interests, as well as provide a resource for educators who want to introduce the subject in their classrooms.
