Training for Improved Provider Response to Bioterrorism

医学界对生物或化学恐怖主义的早期发现和快速反应已成为确保公共健康和安全的关键。康涅狄格州已经成立了一个联盟，由康涅狄格州公共卫生部、耶鲁纽黑文卫生系统、圣路易斯大学中心地带准备中心和哥伦比亚大学卫生政策中心组成（这两个中心都是CDC指定的生物恐怖主义劳动力培训中心）。 该项目的目的是确定“一线”临床医生的具体培训计划，并评估其有效性。为实现这一目标，研究方法将包括： 与对继续医学教育感兴趣的主要利益相关者建立伙伴关系; 继续医学教育（CME）现状的调查和文件; 调查和有效的教育技术的当前研究文献的文件和：临床医生的技术; * 选择数量有限的教学模式，以满足国家教学需求的具体要求; * 设计和执行一系列研究，以确定最有效的教育内容和教学方式，使临床医生在发生生物恐怖事件时做好准备。 * 调查和记录当前的机构和监管政策和实践，以继续医学教育（CME）的临床医生在医院和社区为基础的临床医生。 项目结果将有助于文献，使成功或失败的公关弹射经验可以知道全国各地。

The medical community's early detection of, and rapid response to, biological or chemical terrorism have become crucial to assuring public health and safety. Connecticut has formed a coalition that is comprised of the Connecticut Department of Public Health, Yale New Haven Health System, St. Louis University Heartland Readiness Center, and the Columbia University Center for Health Policy (both centers are CDC-designated Workforce Training Centers for Bioterrorism). The aim of this project is to identify specific training programs for "front line" clinicians and evaluate their effectiveness. To accomplish this, research methodofogy will include: development of partnerships with key stakeholders with an interest in CME; investigation and documentation of the current status of continuing medical education (CME); investigation and documentation of the current research literature on effective educational techniques and :echnologies for clinicians; * selection of a limited number of instructional modalities that meet the specific requirements of the State's instructional needs; * design and execution of a series of studies that w ill determine the educational content and instructional modalities most effective preparing clinicians to perform well in the event of a bioterrorist event. * investigation and documentation of the current institutional and regulatory policies and practices with respect to continuing medical educati on (CME) for clinicians at hospitals and community-based clinicians. Project findings will contribute to the literature so that the success or failure of the pr eject experience can be known across the country.
