| Popis: | The South Central Center for Public Health Preparedness (SCCPHP) is a collaboration among the schools of public health at Tulane University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the state health departments in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.1 The mission of the SCCPHP is to prepare the workforce to respond to public health threats and emergencies—biological, chemical, nuclear, radiological, or explosive—whether naturally occurring or due to terrorism and resulting in mass trauma. The SCCPHP provides competency-based training via distant delivery methods to prepare public health workers to plan for and rapidly respond to these public health emergency events. Several program activities are carried out to ensure this workforce development initiative is successful. First, working with state and local health agencies, the SCCPHP identifies training needs in bioterrorism, infectious disease, and other public health threats and emergencies. Next, based on these needs, the SCCPHP develops relevant competency-based training. The SCCPHP also designs common methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the training, including impact on knowledge of specific competencies and increased capacity to respond. The SCCPHP training system model depicted in the Figure highlights the integrated process developed to execute program activities systematically and collaboratively. Figure The South Central Center for Public Health Preparedness (SCCPHP) Training System Model Another important program activity is sharing model development and innovative approaches to increase the effectiveness of other related training initiatives and reduce duplication of effort. Thus, this report presents the SCCPHP training system model, including detailed descriptions of each component and the relationships among the components that ensure a comprehensive approach for emergency preparedness training. |
