Written by

in

The course consists of a Virtual Bioterrorism Workshop. In this interactive workshop you will determine whether to rule out or refer
several organisms that are considered potential agents of bioterrorism by applying Laboratory Response Network protocols for Level A (sentinel)
laboratories. When a possible agent of bioterrorism cannot be ruled out, you
will view a video describing the clinical presentation and etiology of the
agent.

Intended Audience

Laboratorians
who handle biological and microbiological samples in clinical, reference,
public health, animal, research or teaching laboratories.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able
to:

  1. Rule out or refer organisms using approved Laboratory
    Response Network protocols for Level A (sentinel) laboratories.
  2. Select the appropriate tests to use in determining
    whether to rule out or refer an organism.
  3. Describe the notification processes if a presented
