Biosafety Training Course

研究科学家的生物安全教育。该教育计划旨在提高对生物防御和新兴疾病研究实验室中遇到的生物危害的认识，为评估与本研究相关的风险提供科学依据，为推荐的做法提供指导，并促进所需技能的发展，以安全地与人类病原体一起工作。安全意识和实践的目的是向实验室和支持人员保证，在适当的预防措施、设备和设施下，可以处理生物危害性材料，而不会对他们自己、他们的同事、他们的家人和环境造成不必要的风险。该计划不仅适用于训练有素的微生物学家，也适用于临床医生，其他学科的科学家和其他直接或间接参与生物防御或新兴疾病研究的个人。所提倡的安全原则是基于科学的风险评估、健全的安全做法、常识、良好的内务管理、彻底的个人卫生和事故应对计划。本课程由 华盛顿大学医学院每年至少一次，入学人数为20至25人 个体MRCE将补贴学费，并将补贴来自圣路易斯地区以外的第七区个人的食宿费用。MRCE行政核心协助注册过程，并负责验证所有申请人的凭据（社会安全号码，美国公民身份，就业/学生身份，当前的研究工作和良好的声誉）与他们的母机构。该课程通过电子邮件向第七区所有学术机构做广告，并张贴在MRCE和圣路易斯大学生物恐怖主义和新发传染病中心的网站上。

Biosafety Education for the Research Scientist. This education program seeks to increase awareness of biological hazards encountered in biodefense and emerging disease research laboratories, to provide a scientific basis for assessing risks associated with this research, to provide guidance on recommended practices and to promote the development of required skills to work safely with human pathogens. The object of safety awareness and practice is to assure laboratory and support personnel that¿with proper precautions, equipment and facilities¿biohazardous materials can be handled without undue risk to themselves, their associates, their families, and the environment. This program is intended not only for trained microbiologists, but also for clinicians, scientists trained in other disciplines and other individuals involved, either directly or indirectly, with biodefense or emerging disease research. The safety principles promoted are based on scientific risk assessment, sound safety practices, common sense, good housekeeping, thorough personal hygiene, and a plan for responding to accidents. This course is conducted at least once per year at Washington University School of Medicine with an enrollment of 20 to 25 individuals. The MRCE will subsidize the costs of tuition and will subsidize the costs of room and board for those individuals in Region VII coming from outside the St. Louis area. The MRCE Administrative Core aids with the registration process and is responsible for verifying the credentials of all applicants (social security number, U.S. Citizenship, employment/student status, current research effort, and good standing) with their parent institution. The course is advertised through electronic mailings to all Region VII academic institutions, and is posted on the MRCE and the St. Louis University Center for Bioterrorism and Emerging Infectious Diseases websites.
