Navigating the Trust Gap: A Misinformation Response Framework

Why This Course Matters

A false claim about health or science spreads in minutes. The correction takes hours or days. That gap costs communities real harm every day.

This course equips physician-scientists, researchers, communicators , and leaders with a practical framework to close that gap. You learn to distinguish disinformation, misinformation, and honest scientific uncertainty, and you name the historical throughline that makes Black communities a deliberate target for health and science disinformation. The work is grounded in relevant case studies and the learning is interactive. You will apply my trademark protocol live to real claims, then layer in grievance diagnosis - naming the historical wound beneath a claim before you address the claim itself. This builds responses that correct and build trust together.

You leave with a personal deployment plan for the next time a false claim surfaces in community around an issue within your area of uoYexpertise.
