Roundtable: An Illustrative Example - Workforce Development and Health Literacy

Description: We are hosting an interdisciplinary roundtable discussion. Presenters will include healthcare professionals representing medicine, nursing, and applied health sciences. We’ll discuss presenters’ collaborations with different municipalities during the pandemic. Specifically, we’ll focus on their experience creating training webinars. The presenters comprise racially and ethnically diverse faculty members who come with deep knowledge and experience working with various primarily urban communities. During our discussion, presenters will provide insight into how to design and execute effective health literacy training to a targeted audience. A handout of resources will be provided for participants. 

Objectives:

1. Create a health literacy training with topical areas and components
