CDP to be featured in national publication

The CDP will be featured in the July issue of the American Journal of Disaster Medicine.

An article titled ‘The evolution of healthcare disaster preparedness and response training at the FEMA Center for Domestic Preparedness’ explains how the CDP, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is using a multi-agency or -organization approach to improve existing and develop new healthcare courses focused on emergency resilience, preparedness, response and recovery. 

The article is co-authored by CDP Superintendent Tony Russell, Training and Education Director Denis Campeau, and Instructional System Specialists Roy Marlow and Sondra Singleton, along with two HHS representatives, and representatives from the University of Minnesota’s Department of Emergency Medicine and Jacksonville State (AL) University’s Department of Emergency Management.

According to its website, the journal provides physicians and medical professionals around the globe ‘the latest research and essential informational tools they need … to manage the complexities of emergency medical and trauma skills with crisis management in a mass casualty environment.’ 

The journal is published nine times a year.
