Material Detail

This learning activity occurred during the 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) scare in the United States. When the academic semester started this activity was not part of the course’s topical outline. However, because of developing national concerns related to Ebola, and fears voiced by students, content previously planned to be taught was shifted and reorganized so as to embrace this “teachable moment”.

Despite the passing of time since Ebola has been a serious threat to Americans, the need for academicians to continue this activity within their healthcare curricula is still quite applicable. The COVID-19 pandemic clearly has caused a resurge in the need for students and practicing practitioners to feel extremely competent in how they protect themselves and patients from microbes as physically destructive as Ebola and the Coronavirus.
