Education
Online disaster course
CEEP has been involved in a project multiyear project to develop a comprehensive Disaster Preparedness for Healthcare online course. Some of the contents will be similar to what you may know from the textbook Disaster Preparedness for Healthcare Facilities but it has been updated to include content on cyber security, community mental health, wellness, etc. The course will allow you and your staff to receive accredited education in healthcare disaster preparedness without needing to travel and at a significantly lower expense than in person courses.
The text is geared towards health care workers such as adult and pediatric physicians and nurses, paramedics and health care facility administrators and covers disaster preparedness for health care facilities such as hospitals and long-term care homes
Academic review of the contents was done by international leaders in the disaster preparedness field from the United States, UK and Israel.
