This course prepares students to effectively, appropriately, and safely plan for and respond to a disaster incident involving children, addressing the specific needs of pediatric patients in the event of a community-based incident. Pediatric specific planning considerations include planning for pediatric surge, mass sheltering, triage and allocation of scarce resources, reunification and decontamination considerations. This is not a hand-on technical course, but instead a management level course for stakeholders such as pediatric physicians, emergency managers, emergency planners and members of public emergency departments like EMS, Fire, Police, Public Health and Hospitals in field of disaster response and preparedness work.
This is a dual registration course. Students must also register with TEEX. https://my.teex.org/TeexPortal/?MO=mClassRegistration&D=FP&C=MGT439&S=614
