APTR hosted several Clinician Competencies for Emergency Preparedness Workshops in fall 2007. Three sites were selected to host the workshops and lead participants through the process of designing competency based training. The Clinician Competencies for Emergency Preparedness skill set and the Competencies to Curriculum Toolkit provided the structure for the workshop. Materials can be obtained by clicking here. Kristine Gebbie, DrPH, RN, Columbia University School of Nursing, will lead an evaluation over the next several months to assess the residual effects of the workshops in leading to improve emergency preparedness training in the geographic areas where the workshops were conducted.
