|
What are the challenges for implementing these programs? What are effective strategies for engaging different communities involved in public health preparedness (e.g. first responders, medical students, public health officials etc.)? |
|
Are there any methods for certification? Are programs integrated into degree-associated course work, continuing education, or job-training programs? |
