The Academic Partnership to Improve Health released a CDC-funded online learning module called “Navigating a Foodborne Outbreak: Preparation for Interprofessional Practice.” The module focuses on the collaboration necessary among health professionals to protect the public from foodborne outbreaks.
The module takes approximately 90 minutes to two hours to complete. It has three chapters—one set in an outpatient clinic, one at a local health department, and one at a multidisciplinary meeting after the outbreak has resolved. The scenario is based on a multistate foodborne outbreak that occurred in 2015-16, but the details of the patients, clinicians, and the local health department are fictional.
