The purpose of this program will be to provide education and tools for the refugees who have come to the Illinois area. This will focus on disease education, disease management, medication administration education, US health system education, translation of the material in Pashto/Dari, telehealth, mental health, smoking cessation, pregnancy, maternal health, filling medication in pharmacy, etc. The goal is to present monthly online educational sessions, provide patient-focused videos in Pashto/Dari, provide translations of vaccination information, etc., and create an app for storing these videos/animations. This is mainly for educational purposes and is fully remote.
Students will assist in creating material in simple language, which will be translated and shared with the intended audience. This will be a great addition to resumes/residency applications. If interested, please email Dr. Wardak at nwardak86@gmail.com.
