Program description:
Since May 2022, the CDC has been urging health care providers in the U.S. to be on the alert for patients who have rash illnesses consistent with monkeypox. The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) has developed a multipronged approach to case investigations, contact tracing, testing, treatment, vaccination and community outreach to limit the spread.
Lindsay Weaver, MD, FACEP, chief medical officer for IDOH, will give an update on the monkeypox outbreak from a local and national perspective and discuss how lessons learned during COVID have applied to this response. She will also discuss how IDOH is preparing for the next public health emergency.

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the signs and symptoms of monkeypox and determine who is most at risk.
- Identify testing and treatment currently available.
- Distinguish what is being done to limit the spread of monkeypox.
- Depict how IDOH is preparing for the next public health emergency in Indiana.
