COVID-19 Year 5: Are We Prepared for the Next Pandemic?
May 8, 2024, 1:00 PM-2:30 PM (EST) – 1.5 CEUs
Please join us for a free fireside chat with acclaimed epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm, author of the upcoming book The Big One: How to Prepare for World-Altering Pandemics to Come.
As
we enter the fifth year of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed
over 1.1 million American lives to date (most of them unvaccinated),
social workers are understandably eager to put this public health crisis
in the rearview mirror. But as experts on the traumatic impacts of
these disasters, and the complex psychosocial and related factors in
disaster response, social workers have a unique professional obligation
to consider: How can we best prepare for the next pandemic?
Dr.
Osterholm, founding Director of the Center for Infectious Disease
Research and Policy and advisor to the Biden Administration on COVID-19
response, will discuss lessons learned from current and prior pandemics,
and the hard truths about what it will take to prevent a catastrophe
worse than COVID-19. Importantly, he will discuss the crucial leadership
role of social workers in pandemic preparedness and response. What do
these trends this mean for our preparedness—as a profession and as a
society—for the next pandemic? How can social workers continue to play a
leadership role in preventing further harms and losses due to COVID-19?
Learning Objectives:
- Provide an update on the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, now in Year 5;
- Discuss the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for preparedness for the next pandemic; and,
- Identify opportunities for leadership and action by micro-, mezzo- and macro-level social workers.
Speakers:
- Michael
Osterholm, PhD, MPH, Director of the Center for Infectious Disease
Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota
- Anna
C. Mangum, MSW, MPH, Senior Health Strategist, with the Health Behavior
Research and Training Institute at the University of Texas/Austin Steve
Hicks School of Social Work
- Moderator: Gwen Bouie-Haynes, PhD, LMSW, Connect to End COVID-19, Special Populations Coordinator
Register for complimentary webinar, “COVID-19 Year 5: Are We Prepared for the Next Pandemic?”
