Navigating a Foodborne Outbreak: Preparation for Interprofessional Practice is a self-paced, interactive learning module that demonstrates the importance of interprofessional practice among health professionals to improve and protect population health, in the context of a foodborne outbreak.
The module will take approximately 90 minutes to two hours. Learners may complete it in one session, or pause and return to the module to finish in multiple sessions. The module is divided into three chapters--one set in an outpatient clinic, one at a local public health department, and one at a multidisciplinary meeting after the outbreak has resolved. The scenario is based on a multi-state foodborne outbreak that occurred in 2015-16, but the details of the patients, clinicians, and the local health department are fictional. Any similarities to real individuals or settings are coincidental.
