Referral: MEDCRAM on Mpox 2024


 

#18,251

Given the stunning amount of (often deliberate) misinformation on social media about the Mpox virus, it can be difficult to know what to believe about this - and many other - emerging disease threats.   

One of the best sources I know, however, is MEDCRAM, which synthesizes important medical information (primarily for clinicians and medical students) into remarkably clear online lectures. 

I've been a fan (and subscriber) for years, and use it often just to bone up on medical topics I'm interested in. While they have a paid tier, they also have an extensive YouTube Channel with more than 1.5 million subscribers and over 550 of these presentations. 

 On Friday they released a 20 minute tutorial/lecture on the 2024 clade Ib outbreak of Mpox.


While new information continues to emerge, this lecture provides some of the most accurate and updated information you are apt to find online.   

Highly Recommended.
