But healthcare professionals can learn how to help better suspect and recognize this disease. In addition, clinical stories will be shared to help encourage more interprofessional collaboration and communication amongst healthcare teams to help facilitate better care for patients.

This is episode 2 of the series: Mpox: A Review of the Poxvirus Previously Known as Monkeypox

Since the outbreak of mpox in 2022, we have learned much about this infectious and communicable poxvirus. Traditionally, many poxviruses were named in relation to animals in which the virus was observed. However, some stigmatizing concepts and language have been attributed to the name monkeypox. So, the name of the virus has been changed from monkeypox to mpox. Join this podcast to learn more about this viral disease now referred to as mpox: presentation, identification, transmission, testing, and overall concepts related to care.
