Vulnerable Population Education
Focusing on the vulnerable population you described in the Unit 3 discussion, choose a community agency that serves that vulnerable population. Contact a community agency leader within that organization (like the director of the organization) to interview over the phone or through email to learn more about the agency. Develop an evidence-based COVID-19-related community-based education intervention project for the vulnerable population that includes interprofessional collaboration with the community-based agency.
