New Educational products created by the Institute for Biosecurity now available through the Institute website

Compilation for Public Health Foundation (PHF)
The Public Health Foundation now carries a compilation of essential CD-ROM titles from the Institute for Biosecurity. This 11-disc set includes training materials for a wide variety of users that include first responders, doctors, nurses, hospital staff, emergency planners and public health workers. The Public Health Foundation featured this collection when it first became available as a bundle and it sold out quickly. We have since re-supplied the PHF and they are ably assisting us in making these vital tools available to those that need them the most.

Patient Decontamination Program
Together with BJC Health Systems and the Missouri Hospital Association, the Institute has produced a CD-ROM title that provides training, reference material and continuing education for hospital-related preparedness efforts. This program covers the procedures that should be in place and the skills that should be exercised in order to assure a proper response to a situation where mass casualties need to be decontaminated by hospital emergency teams.

Bioterrorism Preparedness for Nurses program
As a companion to the Role of the Infection Control Practitioner in Bioterrorism Preparedness, our new Bioterrorism Preparedness for Nurses title provides essential bioterrorism preparedness materials and training for nurses. Complete with a lecture, the lecture slides and transcript, reference materials and a list of valuable web resources, this disc will give you or your department a very good start in your preparedness planning.
