FREE COURSE > BIOTERRORISK

[This is a really good course for any and all who have any degree of disaster response/management]

Who is responsible for protecting the public's health against a
bioterrorist threat?
Since the events of 9/11/2001 and the Anthrax outbreak in the U.S., it is now recognized that bioterrorist risk may come to attention and require "first response" from physicians, nurses, laboratory personnel, communicable disease surveillance specialists, public health officers, and environmental hazmat teams.
Bioterrorisk is a case-based, mini-course in hazard recognition, interagency communication, risk assessment, and risk communication for the public health workforce.


At the end of this course, you will be able to:

1.Identify your role in responding to a bioterrorist event
2.Recognize circumstances that may indicate bioterrorism
3.Establish intra- and interagency communication
4.Follow an appropriate protocol for responding to a bioterrorist event
5.Communicate with the public regarding risk
6.Assemble a list of resources available to assist in a bioterrorist event
