Course Description

The Healthcare Training Center (HTC) Monthly Webinar Series is a collaborative training initiative designed to plumb the depths of all-hazards preparedness and response. Each month, guest lecturers will lend subject-matter expertise to particular topics that materially impact Healthcare Emergency Preparedness Coalitions. As a compliment to traditional, “pre-approved” training, these 60-90 minute engagements will provide focused insight on best-practices, regulatory updates, training, incident management, and personal accounts of real-world responses. Derived from Hospital Preparedness Program capabilities, this virtual series will take a comprehensive approach to preparing for, responding to, and recovering from a wide variety of high-stakes, healthcare challenges.
