Vaccinations for Adults
Many people are not aware that immunizations are needed throughout your life. Not only can vaccinations received as a child wear off, but people are also at risk for different diseases as an adult. For these reasons, it is important for adults to stay up to date with their immunizations. A patients specific need for vaccines will vary depending on their age, health, and job as well as lifestyle and travel habits.
In this module, we will review the importance of adult immunizations, standards for adult immunization practice, and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended adult immunization schedule.

Identifying and Reporting Elder Abuse
The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) estimates that one out of every 10 senior citizens will experience some type of abuse: however, less than 20% of those cases are ever reported. In an effort to understand the problem of elder abuse, experts have identified several types of abuse that generally define both abuse and neglect. In this course you will learn the types of abuse that elders face and how abuse can happen systematically through poor management skills, insufficient resources or lack of proper training. In addition, this course provides information on current legislation requiring education, training, and penalties because of the failure to report elder abuse.

Overview of Sexual and Reproductive Health
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are essential for overall human health, economic development, and the well-being of society. Consistent access to reproductive and sexual health services is a basic human need. Significant progress has been achieved in addressing certain components of sexual and reproductive health, such as contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, and maternal and newborn health; however, several components require improvement. Additionally, population growth and societal changes require new strategies to provide equitable access to sexual and reproductive health services. This course will address the emerging trends in SRHR and strategies to improve SRHR services and access and overcome disparities. Course expiration date: 11/2/2026

Monkeypox
Monkeypox is an emerging infectious disease caused by a virus transmitted to humans from infected animals, most commonly rodents. It can be spread to other people but person-to-person transmission alone cannot easily sustain an outbreak. The clinical presentation is similar to that seen in the past with smallpox but less severe. Smallpox was eradicated worldwide in 1980; however, monkeypox still occurs sporadically in parts of Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests. Typically, case fatality in monkeypox outbreaks has been 1-10% but with appropriate care, most patients will recover.
This course provides a general introduction to monkeypox and is intended for health personnel responsible for prevention and control of monkeypox.
The content and scope of this course on monkeypox have been tailored for outbreaks in African countries where the disease is endemic. The course material was last updated in 2020 and may not reflect most recent WHO guidance issued for the multi-country outbreak in 2022.
