“Pharmacist’s Response to Bioterrorism”
The Board
of Pharmacy and the University of Maryland have developed an
on-line training course on Bioterrorism for Maryland
pharmacists who have been unable to attend the Board’s live
Phase 1 training sessions. This course was developed in part
to ensure that the Maryland Pharmacist Volunteer Corp (MPVC)
volunteers have easy access to volunteer training, but more
importantly to ensure a general knowledge of all pharmacists
who may consider volunteering for emergency events in
Maryland.
The
“Pharmacist’s
Response to Bioterrorism” is three-credit ACPE
continuing education program offered online. Free
continuing education (CE) credits will be offered to every
pharmacist who participates in the online training, The
course will provide
you with an overview of the MPVC program; an introduction on
what medications will be used for individuals exposed to
biological, chemical, radiological agents; pharmacist
preparations, protocol and deployment plans; and the legal
liabilities of the state of Maryland volunteers.
In order to access the “Pharmacist’s
Response to Bioterrorism” online training, you will need
a broadband connection and a Windows Media Player version 9 or
higher. For more information, see the attached flyer “Pharmacist’s
Response to Bioterrorism – Before you get started.”
