Overview:

This is a 90-minute recording of a live webinar.

This webinar is presented in partnership with Georgia Society for Public Health Education (GASOPHE) and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD).

In this webinar, participants will learn how online simulations with virtual humans are being utilized for workforce development and public education to curb chronic disease and improve behavioral health. Learn how these simulations are being used to scale effective strategies for improving and assessing the competencies of the healthcare workforce, engaging other professionals such as educators in prevention and early intervention, and moving the public beyond awareness to action.

The webinar will include (1) an overview of the benefits and research supporting the use of virtual humans, (2) demos of work development and public education about mental health, substance use, and chronic disease, and (3) several use cases of county and statewide implementations including research results.
