The Intersection of Public Health and Business: Applying COVID-19 Science to your Workplace & Lifestyle
Not Currently Scheduled
Overview
Invest a mere 2 hours to become an informed leader in the community conversation about public health!
This course begins by guiding you through the first 50 minutes of a 400-minute course offered by Johns Hopkins University. Topics covered include the most critical knowledge of Covid-19: its origins, clinical signs and symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, transmission, and the infectious period. This serves as your primer to the full Johns Hopkins University course, and afterwards you will be able to finish that course on your own time for no additional cost.
Both during the course between the video modules and after the course, the facilitators will lead a robust discussion driven by participant questions. One popular topic discussed is the risk-benefit mindset unique to each individual. Also covered are the public health impacts and the broader social and mental health implications of COVID-19 from the perspective of an Ellis County Health Department official.
Johns Hopkins Course
The comprehensive 400-minute course will teach you about mechanics, logistics, and challenges of contact tracing. Upon completion of the Johns Hopkins course, you will receive a document that you are a certified contact tracer which qualifies you for employment as a contact tracer with an official public health agency. Whether you complete the full Johns Hopkins University course or stop after the FHSU 2-hour course, you will be more equipped to make informed decisions to keep yourself, your coworkers, and your customers safer when doing business!
