Optimization of outcome requires all available resources to be preserved, coordinated and focused so as to optimize community response in dealing with the normal ongoing needs of the stricken and spared populations, the special disaster-related needs of the population at risk and the special needs encountered by populations with special vulnerability.
The Management of Epidemic Disease
  • Behavioral Health
  • 5.00 Participation/CE
$0.00
Course Description:Population growth, societal aging, urbanization, rapid transportation, economic interdependence, and emerging infectious disease have expanded community vulnerability far beyond what could have been imagined a few generations ago. But, an expansion of medical technology has provided an array of tools and techniques for therapeutics and public health disease management never before imagined.
Bioterrorism Preparedness: Principles of Emerging Infectious Diseases
  • Behavioral Health
  • 8.00 Participation/CE
$0.00

Infections, such as tuberculosis and malaria, once thought to have the potential of elimination, have re-emerged with resistant strains and pose major public health challenges to both the developed and developing world. The understanding of infectious disease transmission is central to the prevention and control strategies of emerging and re-emerging infections.
Bioterrorism Preparedness: Factors for the Emergence/Reemergence of Infectious Diseases
  • Behavioral Health
  • 6.00 Participation/CE
$0.00
Course Description:The emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases poses new challenges to the public health community. We have witnessed emergence of new infections such as SARS and an increase in the incidence of infections such as tuberculosis during the last decade. Understanding the factors associated with the emergence and reemergence of infectious disease is central for designing prevention and control strategies.

Explosion and Blast Injury
  • Behavioral Health

When they do occur, they have the potential to inflict multi-system, life-threatening injuries on many persons simultaneously. The injury patterns following such events are a product of the composition and amount of the materials involved, the surrounding environment, delivery method (if a bomb), the distance between the victim and the blast, and any intervening protective barriers or environmental hazards.
