| Challenges |
A challenge we faced were making educational material patient-friendly and formatting our presentation to where the patients would learn and benefit the most from. We really wanted to ensure that our patients did not leave confused or worried, so we spent extra time on making our educational materials patient-friendly. |
| Lessons Learned |
We learned that these types of educational interventions are important in underserved communities because we can truly close certain gaps in knowledge and help them protect themselves. These types of interventions are also seen as important from the patients themselves and they appreciate our efforts. |
| Success Story |
Our patients were very ecstatic to share with us that they learned so much from the presentation and felt more comfortable identifying Mpox and protecting themselves from it. They felt more knowledgable about how to take care of themselves if they did contract Mpox. |
