In January and February 2024, the VDH Mpox Response Team will host four in-person mpox training sessions for healthcare providers. We ask that you register for the event closest to you and help promote the training among your local healthcare providers by sharing the information below or the attached flyer.
Purpose: VDH staff and local clinicians will share information on the epidemiology of the 2022–2023 mpox outbreak, testing and treatment strategies, vaccination, incorporating mpox into routine HIV and STI care, and lessons learned during the mpox outbreak.
Intended audience: These free, in-person trainings are intended for healthcare providers, including those who care for patients at risk of getting mpox and those who provide HIV or STI care services. We will provide a maximum of 3 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for the training.
Locations and dates: Sessions will be offered in the Northern, Central/Northwest, Southwest, and Eastern regions of Virginia as shown in the table below. Registration is required. Register now or visit the VDH Mpox Training webpage to learn more.
