Two University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing staff – instructor, Elizabeth L. Beam, Ph.D., and instructional technologist, Stephen Smith – will discuss educating the world on Ebola care, at 6pm on Oct. 14 at the Steel Grill, 2800 10th St., in Gering, Neb.
Dr. Beam and Smith were both heavily involved in creating online learning modules regarding safe donning and doffing practices for health care providers among other related videos. Both are members of the HEROES project.
The HEROES project provides hands-on training, media, and interactive learning modules for emergency preparedness education to health professions students and health care providers throughout Nebraska as part of a programs of excellence grant at the UNMC College of Nursing.
Dr. Beam has been the project coordinator since 2005, and also serves as the director of education for the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit. Smith supports the HEROES project with skills in media development and instructional design for health care education.
Science Cafés involve a face-to-face conversation with a scientist about current science topics. They are open to everyone (21 and older) and take place in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. Each meeting is organized around an interesting topic of conversation. A scientist gives a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period.
This café is co-sponsored by the Nebraska Panhandle Area Health Education Center.
