  3. Present but limited Undifferentiated content, target audiences, delivery modes Varying quality assurance Clinician Education and Training Observations

  4. Cooperative agreement program for Bioterrorism (BT) and Response Collaborative Bioterrorism Preparedness and Training Plan Strategic plan for Public Health Workforce Development Clinician Preparedness:National Strategies

  5. Key Questions What are the effective methods for . . . • The initial training of clinicians • Updating and reinforcing the training • Use of Web/telephone-based central information resources • Reporting events to a central agency • Communicating with other health care professionals Source: AHRQ-Training for Clinicians for Public Health Events Relevant to Bioterrorism Preparedness; Evidence Report/Technology Assessment; #51 p16.

  6.
