Bioterrorism Training and Emergency Preparedness Curriculum

The Bioterrorism Training and Emergency Preparedness Curriculum was developed to educate students and the public on information regarding bioterrorism preparedness and emergency response. Through the Bioterrorism Training Curriculum Development Project funded by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), 13 modules were selected to be utilized in classes at the Departments of Health Science, Health Care Administration, Nursing, and Professional Studies in the College of Health and Human Services at California State University, Long Beach. These modules were modified to include local, countywide, and statewide information as well as information from various community agencies and public health departments. Instructors are encouraged to use portions or all of the material freely for its intended purpose.
