The health information you need from the most innovative university in the country
Join us for a series of free Health Talks, offered virtually, on timely and relevant issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts from a variety of backgrounds share their knowledge on specific topics related to COVID-19, including causes of the virus, how scientists use biomedical data to make data-driven decisions, and how to maintain well-being and health throughout the pandemic.
These events are offered as part of our mission to support the health of our communities and are open to anyone who seeks information and knowledge while navigating the current health crisis.
Each webinar is offered at no charge and approved for one continuing education credit.
As the death toll from COVID-19 continues to rise, the challenges for our most vulnerable populations, including those with opioid use disorders, have increased as well. Reports of opioid overdoses have spiked in some areas since the pandemic began, due in part to reduced access to health care and recovery support services. Additionally, COVID-19 has affected the ability for peer support and has led to disrupted routines, loss of work and increased stress, which can also lead to increased opioid use and relapse.
Join us as we discuss these dueling crises along with how clinicians and health providers can respond to help struggling people and communities.

While COVID-19 continues to rage and spread, several new vaccines provide hope for getting a real handle on the virus. However, some people have concerns and questions about the safety and reliability of vaccines, including the new COVID-19 vaccines. This webinar will explore the benefits of the vaccines, how they work, possible risks and side effects, and the importance of continuing to wear face coverings and avoid crowds to reduce community transmission. Our research and health experts will cover the facts, dispel the rumors and provide the information you need for conversations with patients, friends, family and colleagues.
