Communicating for Health in a World of Confusion

In today’s rapidly changing information environment, healthcare and public health professionals face growing challenges in communicating accurate, trustworthy information. Inspired by themes from Information Sick, this interactive one-hour training explores how shifts in media, journalism, and social media have transformed the way people access and interpret health information.

The virtual session will also highlight practical strategies local health agencies and organizations can use to build credibility, strengthen community relationships, and communicate more effectively in an increasingly complex information landscape.

🎓CECs pending for Social Work, Licensed Mental Health Counseling, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Language Pathology.

Presenter: Joshua Sharfstein, MD Distinguished Professor of the Practice in Health Policy and Management Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University
