Health Education Fair FAQ's
The Department of Medical Education, Department of Psychiatry, Office of Outreach
and Community Engagement (OOCE) and the Office of Admissions, along with Foster School
of Medicine students, have worked together to develop the content for each workshop
and will facilitate each presentation.
A virtual Health Education Fair consists of multiple workshops that participants can
tune into on their computers from the comfort and safety of their own home in order
to learn more about a specific topic relevant to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The
virtual Health Education Fair can be offered as a single workshop or a series of related
workshops and may be offered in both English or Spanish based on the audience and
preference of the host organization.
The virtual Health Education Fairs are intended for a broad audience.
