Full course description
It is critical that healthcare personnel have knowledge of Ebola and
other special pathogens of concern and their implications for healthcare
delivery in a biocontainment unit (BCU). In this course, learners
will be able to describe pathogen-related factors that may warrant
treatment in a biocontainment unit and they will be able to distinguish
between concepts of infectious, communicable, and hazardous as they
relate to Ebola and other special pathogens of concern. Learners
will also be able to describe the clinical presentation of selected
special pathogens from the two broad categories: viral hemorrhagic
fevers and the highly pathogenic respiratory viruses.
