AB  - BACKGROUND: The global Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic of 2014/2015 prompted 
      faculty at Emory University to develop an educational program for nursing 
      students to increase EVD knowledge and confidence and decrease concerns about 
      exposure risk. PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to describe the 
      development, implementation, and evaluation of the EVD Just-in-Time Teaching 
      (JiTT) educational program. METHODS: Informational sessions, online course links, 
      and a targeted, self-directed slide presentation were developed and implemented 
      for the EVD educational program. Three student surveys administered at different 
      time points were used to evaluate the program and change in students' EVD 
      knowledge, confidence in knowledge, and risk concern. DISCUSSION: Implementation 
      of a JiTT educational program effectively achieved our goals to increase EVD 
      knowledge, decrease fear, and enhance student confidence in the ability to 
      discuss EVD risk. These achievements were sustained over time. CONCLUSION: JiTT 
      methodology is an effective strategy for schools of nursing to respond quickly 
      and comprehensively during an unanticipated infectious disease outbreak.
