Distance learning course focuses on bioterrorism preparedness
The University of Cincinnati College of Applied Science has announced a new bioterrorism response course for hospitals and medical emergency personnel. Available January 2002, the course is designed to improve the U.S.'s preparedness for covert or overt bioterrorist attacks, providing an explanation of chemical and biological warfare agents from the incident scene to decontamination and medical treatment.
"Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents" will be offered in several ways through the University of Cincinnati, including a three-credit hour course at the university, and a one-credit hour awareness course nationally via video conferencing on January 18 and ten-week correspondence course.
