Ratings 4.05 / 5.00
What You Will Learn!
- Historical Evolution of Biologic Warfare
- Laboratory Response Network
- Biosafety Levels and Practices
- Symptoms of the Agents of Bioterrorism
- Laboratory Diagnosis of Biologic Threats
- Forensic Microbiology in Biocrime Events
Description
The threat of biologic warfare is very real. The best way to prepare is to start learning about these bioterrorism agents and how they are identified in the lab. Health-care professionals should maintain awareness of biological agents with bioterrorism potential and consider the presence of unknown pathogens. Laboratory scientists should be vigilant in detecting these agents of bioterror using presumptive diagnosis criteria.
In this course, we discuss the historical evolution of bioterrorism, the many agents that could be exploited, and recent developments in technologies and biosafety for detecting and controlling biocrime events. We are also going to talk about the role of the Laboratory Response Network (LRN) in the monitoring and surveillance of potential biologic threats with the help of forensic microbiology.
Upon enrollment to the course all materials such as lecture videos, practice quizzes, and downloadable resources will always be available should you wish to go back to the material to study and review. You will also receive a Certificate of Completion which you can use to boost your resume, curriculum vitae, or LinkedIn profile.
