Team-Based Care: Understanding the Measles Resurgence and Strengthening Prevention

Team-Based Care is a podcast for the interprofessional healthcare team. Produced by the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health - Interprofessional Continuing Education Partnership, speakers from different professions explore a topic or theme that is evidence-based, relevant to their practice, and has an interprofessional lens.
In this episode, we’re taking a close look at the recent measles outbreaks that have emerged across the United States and globally. With cases rising at a pace we haven’t seen in years, healthcare professionals are once again on the front lines—identifying early symptoms, implementing infection‑control measures, and working with public health partners to prevent further spread. Our guest host for this episode is Dr. Marcia Slattery. She is a Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, and the Clinical Director of the Interprofessional Continuing Education Partnership. GUEST SPEAKERS Dr. Jon Temte Mary Vasquez Dr. Ajay Sethi |
