Nebraska doctors will share Ebola lessons online

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska doctors who successfully treated two Ebola patients this fall plan to share lessons about how they protected health care workers from the deadly virus.

The University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medical Center plan to offer two online courses about Ebola and the methods used to treat patients with the virus in Omaha.

Doctors who work at the hospital's specialized biocontainment unit have said they have received numerous requests for information related to treating Ebola.

One of the courses will be designed for health care professionals, and the other course will be created for the general public.

The free clinicians course is available now either through the iTunes U app or this website: http://phtc.unmc.edu/moodle . The public course is expected to be ready soon.
