In 2014, the whole world became aware of an Ebola epidemic that was going on in West Africa. People began panicking as cases began cropping up in the U.S. and in other countries.
There have been so many sensationalistic news stories about the virus, that some people have started referring to Ebola as "Fearbola!"
How do we make sense of all of these stories? What is really going on with the epidemic? Why is there so much fear-- sometimes even irrational fear-- about this virus? Why are people in the U.S. panicking that the virus might infect them? Is there any rational basis to this fear? What can we do to help our fellow humans in West Africa?
The purpose of this class is for you to learn the answers to these questions, and more! I created this class because I could not find another video-based Ebola course online, and I wanted to help spread accurate facts about the virus.

Why should you take this course? Well, one major reason you should take this course is because Ebola is not going to go away anytime soon. As infections continue to crop in up in the U.S. and in other countries, these news reports about Ebola infections are going to keep happening.
By taking this online class, you will learn accurate facts about Ebola-- about how it works, how it spreads, and how it can be prevented. You will walk away with a solid foundation of evidence-based information that you can use to understand any news stories about the virus.
Remember, accurate information can be empowering, especially when you’re facing something that seems scary or unknown.
If you’re at all concerned about Ebola, or if you want to be able to spread accurate information about the virus, then this class is meant for you. I’ve designed this class at a level that is helpful both for regular people and for health care workers.
As a research scientist and a nurse, I specialize in teaching about complex medical subjects and breaking them down to make it easy for you to understand.
This class is made up of short videos that you can watch at your own pace. Embedded in each lecture, you will be provided with direct links to the most useful evidence-based resources from the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, original research studies, and more!
I want to make sure that you know that if for some reason you don’t get what you want out of this class, there is a 30-day refund period, no questions asked.
And if you’re a health care professional, you can earn 2 nursing contact hours for taking this class on Ebola. Evidence Based Birth, is a certified continuing education provider for the Kentucky Board of Nursing.(Disclaimer: Board of Nursing approval of a continuing education provider does not mean that they endorse program content).
So I can’t wait to see you join the class! By taking this class, hopefully you will be able to stop panicking and be able to teach others the facts!
I look forward to helping you learn about Ebola versus Fearbola—separating fact from paranoia.
