BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted education and training which led academia to revise well-established instructional content and strategies. This report described and evaluated the curricular response of public health preparedness at Penn State to the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: We describe an online, hybrid course focused on the development, approval, and dissemination of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. The course was offered in the spring of 2021 and covered real-time laboratory, public health, emergency management, homeland security, medical, and policy aspects of the vaccines. Additionally, we report the student evaluation results of those who completed the course.
RESULTS: The median and mode scores for student evaluations were 7, on a scale of 1 (lowest) to 7 (highest). Students enjoyed the instructors because they were employed in strategic positions and explained real-world challenges. Students reported the course as "timely" and "breaking down complex concepts into simple understanding."
CONCLUSIONS: Penn State responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with an innovative course that developed students' real-time understanding of pandemic response. Students gained knowledge and skills relevant to the practice of public health. Based on the positive student feedback, the course will serve as a model for future classes on public health and emergency management.
