Addressing Your Questions About COVID-19 Webinar, Recorded 3/26

Overview:

This is a 90-minute recording of a webinar held on Thursday, March 26, 2020.

With our state and local public health workers being at the forefront of this pandemic, you are in a position to provide your community with life-saving information. Yet, with the COVID-19 landscape changing so rapidly, it is hard to have the latest, accurate information to educate those in your community. With this webinar you will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive feedback from our speaker, Carlos del Rio, MD. This webinar will have a brief update on the pandemic with the majority of the time spent on Q & A.

Canvas page for COVID-19 academic updates

Currently there are two important websites providing students, faculty, and staff with the most up to date information on policy changes related to COVID-19. They are:

• RSPH COVID-19 Updates website
• Emory University COVID-19 Updates website

Additionally, the Epidemiology Department has created a dedicated Canvas page within the MPH/MSPH Canvas area to continue to provide updates for students related to degree requirements, integrated learning experience (ILE) and applied practicum experience (APE) requirements, course registration, advising, and more. As this situation is developing, we will continue to share guidance via this Canvas page to help students navigate these changes and also access information that has already been shared across other locations. To access the page, login to Canvas and click on the COVID-19 banner from the homepage. 

For further questions, please reach out to your ADAP.
